RANDOM LINGO
Fourth of July
(1). The annual celebration of the United States’ independence from its doddering, old father, England. It’s also the day when your neighbor gets to (once again) try to blow his hand off by shooting off insanely illegal fireworks in what seems to be the general direction of your house.
“Hey, Tom. I’m going to try to bug out at one o’clock today. Want to beat the traffic out of the city, if I can, Oh, before you leave, could you put together that P and L report for the board and circulate it to everyone? Shouldn’t take more than five or six hours, I would think. Happy Fourth of July!”
Bait and Switch
(1). The deceptive practice of enticing a new customer with empty promises (read: low fees) only to spring the real deal on them after it’s too late for them to back out.
“What is this, some kind of bait and switch? You’re sign says ‘All You Can Eat’ and, goddamnit, I want more shrimp!”
