and how I miss the old days when we had "thinking outside the box" and "joined up thinking"
and even further back to "it's not rocket science" and "brain the size of a plannet"
and even older ... re-inventing the wheel??

"Early Doors" another much-loved piece of media nonsense.
And the best one I've been saving up…… "Our hearts go out to the family and friends", a quite revolting phrase which is trotted out after every high profile bad news story, a phrase which NO-ONE in this country ever said until the media made it virtually compulsory. |

I think that's a spin off from "we're spinning our wheels, here" and "we need some traction, guys" All good 1980's management consulting speak |

MisterBadger,
thanks, but that's a picture of a fish kettle - and everybody knows what a fish kettle is (with due respect ... oh that's another cliche) - especially if you've watched Delia or Jamie. No, we need to know what a different kettle of fish is, and it's not the same ... because it's, err, different. I feel I need to know now and knock this on the head, with one fell swoop (whatever a fell swoop is) |
|
By:
The reality is......
|
|
By:
"We need to do a deep dive" is the latest cliche at our place.
Why not just say investigate every possibility or something similar? My mind does stray whenever anybody says it.....  |

Can somebody share this with me? |

On Wiktionary it's described as an awkward situation; a predicament.

A kettle is a container to boil liquid, cook food but how it relates to the phrase I haven't a clue, I'll push the envelope to find out. |

With a bit of blue sky thinking (outside the box), I found this by Googling "kettle of fish" ...
