A colleague who said that some information was &#34;under our radar&#34;, where they should have said &#34;on our radar&#34;, the opposite meaning. <br/><br/>2. Someone on a podcast who said &#34;out the box&#34; (which I understood as something like &#34;fresh out of the box&#34;, how you might refer to a pair of trainers), where with context it was clear they meant to say &#34;outside the box&#34;, as in &#34;thinking outside the box&#34; - a completely different meaning. 2026-09-17T10:52:39Z
