Flat's the New Up

In the 80s it was 'Win Win.' In the 90s it was "New New.' Now, the 00s has its own catchy business phrase according to Daniel Gross over at Newsweek. Flat's the New Up.

Whoever hired that PR man should get a raise...and give that new PR dude the corner office.

Oh, and let's go over the list of office catch phrases that didn't make this year's water cooler buzzphrase hall of shame:

1. "They still make buggy whips in Peshawar."


2. "Whose your Indymac daddy?"


3. "Greed is gooder"


4. "The still don't charge for Peanuts at PanAm"


5. "There should be no I in Marxism"


6. "For 3rd Shift, Daytime IS Primetime"


7. "At least now she gets half of nothin'"


8. "We owe too much to fail"


9. "Someone's gotta be making a profit"


10. "When it gets this bad, they can't pin it on anyone but God"
