7 Ways to Say "I Hate Your Idea."




Hollywood version

I love it! You're a genius!

University version

It needs just a tad more research and, of course, a grant.


Bureaucratic version

We'll proceed as soon as the budget and staff levels are sufficient.

Machiavellian version

You say that's the only copy of the back-up material? I'll take good care of it.


Military version

I outrank you. Bury that idea. Forget about it. And never mention it again.

Police Department version

That sounds like something the Fire Department might do.

United Nations version

You can count on my unwavering support, provided you get the Russians, the Chinese, and the French on board.
