Thought of another one. Downsize - but wait, this is good.

When I was in the AF, I got an "official" message one day that said all
of our 3/4-ton trucks would be "downsized" to 1/2-ton trucks. Excuse
me? Were they going to put them thru a REALLY hot carwash to shrink
them? No, the intention was that the big ones would be turned in and
replaced with the smaller. But that's not what the message said - only
that we should "downsize" the trucks.

Good grief.

The phrase that drives me BONKERS:

Flying under the radar.

It's so...ubiquitous. ;-)
