"Thank you for your input, I'll take that off-line" means "I haven't a clue but I don't want everyone at the meeting to know that".

"Cost neutral" - Does that mean "it's for free" or does it mean "we can frig the budget so we don't get the blame if it goes wrong"?

"Pushing at an open door" - If the door is open you can't push it!

"Find a work around" means "deal with it". Unless, however, you subscribe to the prevalent conspiracy theory, in which case it means "frig the budget".

"That's the wrong answer" means "I asked the question but I didn't really want your opinion".

"Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes" means "lets see who is daft enough to believe us".
