It can also be code for "I'm sick of explaining this to you, you motherfucking idiot."

I like it when it means these things.

The phrase is also definitely a leading indicator of severe brain damage in the person who utters it.

After we've vetted this on a need-to-know basis and everyone has weighed in, we can make a determination of whether there's synergy or a disconnect. Then, we can begin moving forward to actualize the process and generate the initial deliverables. I'll send you a matrix for the workplan.

- Instantaneously: A cumbersome, hypersyllabic way to say "instantly" or "immediately."
- Robust: What's the difference between a "solution" and a "robust solution?" Two syllables.
- Best of breed: I'd either say "best" only or nothing at all.

What's wrong with people and their mouths?
