IT IS IN PROCESS - So wrapped up in red tape that the situation is almost hopeless
WE WILL LOOK INTO IT - By the time the wheel makes a full turn, we assume that you will have forgotten about it too
A PROGRAM - Any assignment that can't be completed by one telephone call.
EXPEDITE - To confound confusion with commotion.
CHANNELS - The trail left by inter-office memos.
COORDINATOR - That guy who has a desk between two expediters
CONSULTANT - (OR EXPERT) - Any ordinary guy with a briefcase more than 50 miles from home
TO ACTIVATE - To make carbons and add more names to tho memo
TO IMPLEMENT A PROGRAM - Hire more people and expand the office
UNDER CONSIDERATION - Never heard of it
UNDER ACTIVE CONSIDERATION - We’re looking in the files for it
A MEETING - A mass mulling by masterminds
A CONFERENCE - A place where conversation is substituted for the dreariness of labor and the loneliness of thought
TO NEGOTIATE - To seek a meeting of minds without knocking together of heads
RE-ORIENTATION - Getting used to working again
RELIABLE SOURCE - The guy you just met
INFORMED SOURCE - The guy who told the guy you just met
UNIMPEACHABLE SOURCE - The guy who started the rumor originally
A CLARIFICATION - To fill in the background with so many details that the foreground goes underground
WE ARE MAKING A SURVEY - We need more time to think of an answer
NOTE AND INITIAL - Let’s spread the responsibility for this
LET'S GET TOGETHER ON THIS - I’m assuming you’re as confused as I am
SEE ME, OR LET'S DISCUSS - Come down to my office, I’m lonesome
GIVE US THE BENEFIT OF YOUR PRESENT THINKING - We’ll listen to what you have to say as long as it doesn’t interfere with what we have already decided to do.
WE WILL ADVISE YOU IN DUE COURSE - If we figure out, we'll let you know
TO GIVE SOMEONE THE PICTURE - A long confused and inaccurate statement by a newcomer
FORWARDED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION - You hold the bag a while
APPROVED, SUBJECT TO COMMENT - Redraw the D__ thing
