One phrase - and I know phrases is drifting the thread a bit - that has annoyed me many times is when someone being tackled about failure in the system says "In a perfect world...", meaning "All right, it's wrong, but I'm not going to be arsed about trying to do anything about it." When I was a social worker you could alway spot the ones who'd climb up the greasy pole, because they'd say things like that.
