Common Business and Manufacturing Phrases and their Translations
1. I PROMISE to bring this right back - You’ll never see it again.
2. That’s a GREY area, I’ll get right back to you on it - I have no idea at all what to do about this.
3. It will work just fine the way it is - It’s a piece of junk.
4. It’s a small problem, nothing we can’t fix – God could not fix it.
5. The paint will hide that – Boy does this thing look bad.
6. We’ll rush this right through – You’ll see it next year if your lucky.
7. It’s close enough – It’s so far off, it’s a joke.
8. Anything I can do to help? – I have nothing to do but get in your way.
9. This is a HOT job, I need it right away – It will sit in shipping for 6 months.
10. We can always count on you to help! – I’m about to stick you with a really bad job.
11. You seem to have a real talent for this kind of work! – We tried to get a zoo chimp to do your job, but he was overqualified and wanted more money.
The funny thing is I wrote this about 18 years ago...and it's still true!
