RANDOM LINGO
Make Glue Out of a Dead Horse
(1). To beat an issue to death over and over again, usually for the benefit of one guy on the conference call who just can’t seem to get it.
“Look, fellas…I don’t want to make glue out of a dead horse here, but I’m still not seeing the benefit to switching to GEICO.”
Granola
(1). A term used to describe a boring, plain person you work with. So everyone.
(2). A project, idea, suggestion, or project idea suggestion that you have come up with that is met with a less than stellar reception (read: It’s a nice way to say your idea sucks).
“Thanks for this Pat, but I am not sure we are really hitting the mark here. The whole thing feels a bit granola. I can’t help but think that someone, somewhere, has already handed out stress balls at a conference. Although I commend you for somehow creating a 35 page deck around this idea, I don’t think we’ll be moving ahead with this.”
