Parrots

"Bending the cost curve."

WTF? People who use this phrase have something approaching the brainpower of a parrot, but less, since it's not clear yet what their retention is. I realize Obama's 20 year old speech writer used it or more likely stole it before he became a 26 year old speech writer and moved to Hollywood, but give it a rest. It was a failure the first time it was used and it hasn't aged into anything better.
