I've added some words and phrases to the "not to use in meetings" list.
I'm not sure which ones were the actual trigger, so this list is a little broad.
Though not specified in any employee handbook, you may want to take care when using:
1. Explainy
2. Verb (used as a verb, for example "He verbed 'error' and made it a seem like a lifestyle choice")
3. Flaming vortex of eternal suffering
4. My liquor delivery will be here this afternoon -- I may be in late tomorrow
5. I just went totally head-desk
6. Three Cheese Turkey Lean Pocket (This seems harmless, but the context made me add it to this list)
7. Suck (used as a noun, with reference to quantity)
I know it seems ridiculous, but even these harmless words can apparently trigger a walk to "sign this form and get back to work" with a follow-up "please, please, please just be reasonable" call from your agency.
I hope this list is informative and helpful.

What about facepalm?
I'll give it a shot.
The next time they ask me to talk.
Always still to Pwn, in and out of proper context!
