Talking like an architect

A list of cliched phrases that can make heads turn and make you a star over-night (although, you can't say for sure how long the fame will stay!):
  • Low hanging fruit
  
  • Bite the bullet
  • Costs and benefits
  • Straight from the horse's mouth 
  • Elephant in the room
  • Knee jerk reaction
  • Throw hardware at it
  • Done and dusted
  • We're with you on this
  • Set the bar high
  • Meh
  • Red herring
  • Everything is all hunky dory
  • What is the ask of this story
  • Where I'm coming from is..
  • Let me get back to you on this
  • So that we are on the same page
  • Corner cases
  • Achilles heel
  • Can of worms 
  • Quick win
  • Catch 22 situation
  • paraphernalia

The take-away is that such phrases should always be taken "with a pinch of salt". :-)
