Good opportunity to bust out this outright banger tbh tbf…

It’s one of those things that I bet sounded really impressive in his head.

A CGI Popeye/Gloria Gaynor duet. Why did they never think of it?

Did he ever finish the sentence?

like just throwing in “wedded to” and “agile” lots at the moment and “death by committee”, “lumbering” as well as laughing at Marketing at all opportunities

Failing to plan is planning to fail, that’s what I think.

I probably use the phrase ‘it is what it is’ about 5 times a day

Nope. Just sat there looking impressed with himself until the conversation moved on.

A tactical ‘it is what is’ is can come in handy sometimes.

Something went wrong, the immediate aftermath where everyone is trying to apportion / avoid blame has passed, and everyone is thinking ‘I totally cba doing anything about this now, it’s Friday afternoon so I’m closing this conversation down’

This one is such bollocks. Quite obviously if you’re failing to plan then you aren’t planning to anything.

The phrase should be “failing to plan is inadvisable because you are likely to then fail in the task you have failed to plan for, unless you’re lucky.”

It’s not even in the same league as “I want it to say what it does on the tin.”

at this juncture, it’s not what it isn’t

Not to be confused with ‘what it is, is’

Might crack out “Que será, será” in a meeting next week.

Yesterday I said, in all seriousness, ‘you can’t pour from an empty cup’. True, but I felt like a Facebook post screenshot.
