2. Think outside the box.

Stop drawing naked anime' cartoons in MS paint and come up with something to give me by 3.

3. Is that what it means?

No wonder I was always confused by it.

Think outside of the box = I have a jack-stupid idea or I'm out of ideas but I can blame you for trying to use experience and logic to solve the problem.

[Shakespeare]

4. ANYTHING involving the word "paradigm." n/t

[meganmonkey]

6. Consistency =

You better conform mother effer or you're fired.

8. "Work smarter, not harder"

I hate that word, and people actually try to use it in reports.
