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).
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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.
