a hands-on experience in state-of-the-art classrooms
― pplains, Thursday, 27 February 2014 22:13 (twelve years ago)
What the hell is state-of-the-art anymore? They have computers? How does the "the art" come into play. "See this calculator? It is state-of-the-art technology."
And hands-on. I would hazard a guess that pretty much 75-percent of life is "hands-on."
I'm not trying to be http://media.screened.com/uploads/0/2641/716435-jerryseinfeldcharportrait_tiny.png here, but I see those phrases so much.

All right, kind of hate to say it, but it's time to stop telling ugly guys married to pretty women that they've "outkicked their coverage."
Phrase had a good run and - needless to say - scored a lot of points, but no, it's over.

"right"
As in boss-speak, such as:
"We've got to get these numbers down to a managable level, right? That involves being more efficient in processes, right? Looking at our procedures and leveraging the other teams, right? etc etc etc etc , right?"
It's not a question, it's a way of assuming that people understand/agree with what you're saying without having to verify they actually do, and then to string together lots of these assumptions without ever having to take a break in speaking.
