Its fun to throw these kind of phrases around,

'Ok guys...lets get to the tip of the iceberg before it melts'

'Don't shoot the messenger but....'

'lets a do a forensic analysis of the accounts...'

'who's got the skeletal overview ?

One that annoys me at the moment is, when something is discussed, but it turns out there needs to be a further discussion about it outside of the allotted meeting time, my boss says 'let's take it offline'

That phrase REALLY winds me up, for no good reason!

I hate that you're generally not allowed to tell people what you think of what they're saying, when they're clearly trying to slopey shoulder something...
