Two independent parties are going to do a deal. To move the deal forward, you've got to give the other party confidential information.
Okay, so my guess was wrong (again).
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Huh. So not the context I took away from the meeting.

Opening the kimono is the same as putting all your cards on the table.

It came up a lot during Enron,
Of course it did. Damn frat boys.
We already had "cards on table," "under the hood," "get down to brass tacks" and a number of other perfectly serviceable cliches. Why did we need one conjures a racist 14-year-old?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Um, because some people always need to use the newest slang (so they can look more with-it, or confuse more people, or something like that), and everything vaguely socially acceptable was already taken?
Or because some people are idiots -- but I repeat myself.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been getting calls - at work - from a company that wants me to answer their survey questions. They always get me at a bad time, but I doubt I'd answer anyway: first, I refuse to take part in these phone surveys; second, they seem to be calling from overseas on a truly terrible connection; three, the people calling are working from a script that they seem to have never seen before. Also, between the lousy connection and very strong accent, I can barely understand them.
