Title: Stenglisms
Post by: Tyler 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"?

Crude but to the point:

If you ain't f**kin' me or signin' my paycheck, I don't care what you think.

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".

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!

Talk of condoms in another thread reminded me that in my younger days I used to often say this;

If man were meant to wear condoms, he would have been born with a rubber di*k.

As a disclaimer: this was many years ago. Long before all the nasty things that are out there now. O0

Last summer, while I still lived in massachusetts, I was hangin out with my brother-in-law on a HOT and HUMID day.. I said "DAMMIT ITS HOTT! and Ron replied "I know man. It's hotter than fish grease!" I wasn't too sure how hot "fish grease" is, so I asked him.... He said, "I don't know, but it's pretty damn hott!" :*))

"As jumpy as a virgin at a prison rodeo"    I had a girlfriend that used to say that when she got nervous.

My personal favorite is "I'm not as think as you drunk I am".  We in the south are full of colorful sayings.

"He ain't the sharpest cheddar in the macaroni recipe"

~Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.
~Don't cut my throat, I may want to do that later myself.

~Don't drink in the hotel bar, that's where I do my drinking.
~I came in here and a fella asked me to have a drink. I said I don't drink. Then another fella said hear you and Joe DiMaggio aren't speaking and I said I'll take that drink.

~I don't know if he throws a spitball but he sure spits on the ball.
~I don't like them fellas who drive in two runs and let in three.
~I feel greatly honored to have a ballpark named after me, especially since I've been thrown out of so many.

~I got players with bad watches - they can't tell midnight from noon.
~It's wonderful to meet so many friends that I didn't used to like.
~Never make predictions, especially about the future.

~No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.
~Now there's three things that can happen in a ballgame: you can win, you can lose, or it can rain.
~Now there's three things you can do in a baseball game: You can win or you can lose or it can rain.

~Oldtimers, weekends, and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.
~The trick is growing up without growing old.
~The trouble is not that players have sex the night before a game. It's that they stay out all night looking for it.

~The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.
~There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.

~There comes a time in every man's life, and I've had plenty of them.
~They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games.


~They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What's funny about that?
~They told me my services were no longer desired because they wanted to put in a youth program as an advance way of keeping the club going. I'll never make the mistake of being seventy again.

~When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
~Without losers, where would the winners be?

~You gotta learn that if you don't get it by midnight, chances are you ain't gonna get it, and if you do, it ain't worth it.
~You have to go broke three times to learn how to make a living.

You smelling what I'm cooking?
You drinking what I'm pouring?
