> (For someone else in the know, without giving away the company, do you remember any of the wacky phrases?)

The phrases from that company (late 90s) are now long-gone from my mind, mere flotsam on the subsequent sea of bullshit.

But later on I worked a lot with soldiers from the British Army and discovered to my delight that they also had some excellent phrases. Off the top of my head

Wolf closest to the sledge / Crocodile closest to the canoe = highest priority problem

Left and right of arc = the extreme ends of a spectrum of possible choices

Don't fight the white = in a test, answer the question rather than complain about it (in staff college exams, the question was on white paper, answer was a different coloured paper, apparently)

Interview without coffee = a dressing down from a senior officer

etc etc.
