Here's one of my favorite Princess Bride quotes: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
That line is used in offices more frequently than I would have expected, mostly in response to some kind of new corporate term. For instance:
"initiative" really means "useless time-wasting event to make management feel better",
"employee empowerment" really means "you can choose to do your job any way you like... as long as it's like THIS",
and a "suggestion" by the corporation really means "do this or die".
