Low-hanging Fruit
I was at a day-long meeting today, sharing best practices across the company, which is great. I heard the phrase "low-hanging fruit" at least twice an hour.
"Mice nuts" - in reference to anything that is very small. For example: "We will only make 1% margin on that deal?! That's mice nuts compared to 20% for XYZ!" Usually a few expletives are peppered throughout such a statement as well. How about a blog entry on favorite workplace expletives? I am sure that would get a lot of comments.
