True meaning: "We are SO gonna find out who's to blame." Circle back (verb)--To revisit or follow up at a future point in time. Example of usage: "Let me look into that and I'll circle back with you in a week or two." True meaning: "I'm going to drop this stink-bomb and hope you forget about it." Drill Down (verb)--To increase detail or further examine at a deeper level. Example of usage: "We'll need to drill down a bit further to fully analyze this data." True meaning: "I have no idea what these numbers mean." Flagpole (noun)--A symbolic device by which prevailing winds of thought may be measured. Example of usage: "That's a great idea, Mindy. Let's run it up the flagpole in tomorrow's meeting." True meaning: "That's a stupid idea, Mindy, but I'm not going to be the one to shoot it down. Let's make it a public spectacle." Sign-Off (noun or verb)--An official "okay" from a superior or co-worker required for a project to proceed. Example of usage: "We just wanted to get your sign-off on these plans before we move to the next step."

Does the guy in the cube next to you eavesdrop and peak at what's in your personal drawer? Have you ever come close to "death by PowerPoint" as you struggle to stay awake in a meeting? If you work in any kind of office--large or small--the answers to these questions are undoubtedly "yes" and you obviously and desperately need Death By PowerPoint .
