A linguistic irritant XXVI

It amuses me when someone uses the phrase, "ready to rock and roll," in a non-musical context.  It's especially silly in most work-related cases.  "Ready to rock and roll?" "No, I'm not about to break into an infectious guitar riff like I'm a member of The Ventures.  I'm just going to give the quarterly earnings report."
