Business box

I’m not going to be able to hear the beaten-to-death biz phrase, “think outside the box” without picturing Business Cat’s take on it.

Actually, every time I hear another bit of jargon endemic to the organization I work for—like “deep dive” (for “go into detail”), “solve for that” (like we’re in a chem lab instead of yet another bleeding con call), “tee up” (instead of “prepare”), “decrudify” (meaning “refine”) or “have all the hooks in place” (I don’t even know—possibly a replacement for “get your ducks in a row”, even though the only application I know for lining ducks up is to shoot them)—I’m going to picture the box that Business Cat at least can put to good use.
