I’ve seen people using “that’s what she said” in a very serious setting, as a way to say “good point/touché”. They had no idea it was from the Office.

    For the longest time I thought “limp wristed” meant ineffective, like if you were to hold something with a limp wrist you were more liable to drop it.

    That was a fun day at work when I found out what it actually meant… after using the term in the middle of a meeting to describe a vendor’s poor performance.

      Same with using the phrase “raw-dogging” (I think there was a cartoon about it.)

        My father in law kept using “raw-dogging it” when we last moved. For example:

        Should we strap down the couch? Nah, just raw dog it.
