(1). The same as saying “Let’s make sure we’re on the same page” but way cheesier.
“Can you explain that again to make sure I understand the ask?” Ugggghh.

RANDOM LINGO
Rightsizing
(1). When the HR department says you can’t use the word “layoff” when referring to cutting staff positions, you say the organization is “rightsizing.”
“Listen Bill, I’m also trying to ‘rightsize’ my clothing, but it doesn’t have anything to do with my budget.”

Double Revenue
(1). Something used in management reporting that probably means you’re intentionally double-billing your clients every now and then.
“Okay, and if you’ll all flip to page 3, you’ll see our double revenue numbers for this year. Not as solid as we would have liked, but we’re looking to ramp it up for next year. Some kind of bundling fee or customer service charge or something…”
Props to Hilari for the submission.
