Bring to the table: 1. Carry item to (usually) four-legged structure, presumably for some purpose. 2. Rather condescending reference to whether someone has anything to contribute, as in “What exactly is Veronica going to bring to the table?”; shades of Jam and Jerusalem, along the lines of bringing cake or other foodstuff to a village gathering of some kind; furthermore, hints of ritual sacrifice or some other arcane religious activity, in which the supplicant individual has to bring something to a central point of major significance; more prosaically, just arriving at the boardroom table for yet another dreary meeting.

Best is the enemy of better: 1. Poorly articulated transposition of “Better is the enemy of best,” intending to suggest that settling for simply okay won’t do, whilst conveying precisely the opposite. 2. Tired mantra usually delivered by people desperately trying to be more creative than they truly are; frequently misstated through trying to be just a little too glib. (see Great, good is the enemy of)

Agree violently: 1. Have a heated discussion whilst having the same view. 2. A frequent state of affairs in business, where two people or companies generate huge amounts of hot air when in truth there is no need because in fact they agree with each other; failure to see wood for trees; generation of much static with little tangible result; standard practice in all-day meetings. (see Wood, can’t see the _ for the trees)

Augmented Business Visualisation (ABV) is a new paradigm in visualisation which provides rich and actionable visual decision making environments on all delivery platforms by connecting portions of documents to business data found in enterprise applications. With ABV, information and business data is synthesised from multiple sources into a single visual environment, delivering rich information context to users.

(Thanks to Jim Hubbard for spotting this)

Back story: 1. History of something; events which took place before, usually necessary to explain action in a film. 2. Often deceitful attempt to suggest provenance for a product where there is none; fanciful guff trumped up by marketing department along the lines of “forged in the crucible of time”, “lovingly handpicked by Masai virgins”, or “individually blessed by the pope”. (see Authenticity; Provenance)
