Call it what it is ...

Dang smart phone, Does anyone know how to turn off the Spellchecker or spell corrector on a Samsung Galaxy 5???? I have to now proof read every sentence or worse pop in that I did not intend to use.

One more that I do not like to hear is calling my phone a "smart phone" I believe it is more like "Patrick" from Sponge Bob Square paints.
 
Question: when "what it is" is used by itself, *** does it mean?

"Thinking outside the box".
Sure, when somebody coined that phrase, I can see that there may well have been a point to it.
But only the once.
I've been to a couple of job interviews where some toe-rag has been all excited about how: "This organization like to think outside the box".
What box?
I just think about stuff I need to fix, no box needed to think outside of really.
 
....on steroids

seems as though everything that's been improved is 'on steroids', ugh.

The irony is that 'outside the box' is the new box.

Bugs me that everyone is a (fill in the blank) engineer.

As a manual low frequency sound creation engineer, I often have to fight with the ancillary manual mid-range frequency sound creation engineer to remove certain frequency coverage plans from his electronic reinforcement solutions, so that my own reinforcement solutions are audible to the operational dance floor associates and certified mosh pit specialists. And this is all while trying to follow the primary percussive engineer, mind you. It is what it is.
