(1). A seriously creepy way to say “knock on wood”. Just say “knock on wood”, Ariel Castro.
“Touch wood, but I think we really have a shot at getting approval for that new water cooler we asked for.”
Touch Wood
RANDOM LINGO
Up On His Hind Legs
(1). The way some people get when someone challenges or disagrees with them, often ending in a public (and relatively salty) series of post-meeting rants.
“Whoa…Mike really got up on his hind legs this morning after David pushed back on his proposal. I mean, did you ever hear someone drop the f-bomb so many times during one conference call?”
Resource
(1). To pull people off unnecessary, endless projects to make them work on other unnecessary, endless projects.
“Okay, so I think in order to properly resource this effort, we are going to have to bring in some folks from the servicing team. Unfortunately, they don’t have anyone to spare right now, so your project is going to happen … possibly ever.”
