work jargon

For anyone who needs a few phrases to use at work to impress your boss, please see below list. These are all direct from the mouth of an actual boss, so they have been verifed and confirmed by the proper parties.
1. Dive right in
2. Put the brakes on
3. Roll 'em up
4. Push back
5. Button it up
6. Raise the red flag
7. Drop it down
8. Zip it up
9. Give a yell
10. Keep it on your radar
11. Coming down the pipe

Also, please see below for some additional words of wisdom to be used in the appropriate office situation.
1. Nothing more to it than that, nothing less to it than that.
2. There could be one, or there could be many.

In addition, feel free to use the world "holistic" as many times as you desire. It is a less-commonly used word, and so therefore you will be perceived as intelligent and articulate. Also, feel free to use it in a completely improper context, because it will not matter when everyone is blown away that you have used such an advanced vocabulary word. I have witnessed a man use this word four times in the course of a 30 minute meeting, and let me tell you, he had his business face on.

Oh and before I forget, synergy.
