Stenglisms
« on: February 17, 2008, 01:25:42 AM »
I have a boss who's last name is Stengle.  He's a cool guy and has some pretty funny sayings that we affectionately call "Stenglisms."

Here's a couple of them that I remember him saying:

"It's like trying to nail jello to a wall"
"It's just another arrow in our quiver" -  Our company name has the word "arrow" in it.

Do any of you have any more sayings like this that you've heard recently?

Yeah, this is a good place to share the "work related" "business related" buzz phrases.

I know I can think of more because this managing partner with the financial firm I just got hired at was big on'm.

One thing I recall is him saying, "You just gotta get out there and Carpe your Diems."

In reading a modern day novel in our class the main character loses her virginity while under the influence of drugs.   One of my students then asked, " When she became "devirginized".....needless to say it cracked the whole class up. :*))

Sounds like a guy that I work with. One of the wittiest and sharpest that you will ever meet. One of his best is:

"Would you believe me if I told you that I am a liar"?

LOL Good one Mike. I told a variation of this  to the girlfriend of a good friend of mine who was giving me a hard time and saying she didnt like my goatee(for the 3rd-4th time).

I believe I used the the phrase "squatting on it".

Those are some good ones guys!  I'll add some more to the list as my boss spits them out.

Saw this on a tee shirt a few years back and it stuck with me:

Pray Hard..... Life is short.

I had a female customer who was real southern, and when I called her I'd ask how she was doing and she would reply "I'm busier than a bee in a tar bucket"    The southern slang made it priceless!

Friend from college who grew up in rural Illinois always claimed it was "Hotter than a buckwheat fart" during the summer months.
