I think you've been had
I occasionally use “We need to think inside of the box” when the techies start getting over heated about the possibilities of cutting edge solutions when off the shelf boring beige boxes will do the job just as well.

I like the fact that half the people in the room aren’t sure whether I meant to say “outside the box” and the general ‘what the fuck is he talking about’ looks their faces.

Sometimes managers do ‘management speak’ just for the hell of it.

Which is how I suspect “learnings” came about. Some manager spicing up a boring meeting by refusing to say lessons.

Either way it still makes the manager an utter twat.
