Whoever's Phrase that Pays gets spoken first wins, feeling lucky?
Sure. Let's go with"slippery slope". I thought you were the competition.
Fair enough. How about "align incentives."
NO. "Boil the ocean."
I don't know. "Most impactful."
You did that last time. And it's not really a phrase.
All right people. Take your seats, please. Let's go, you wanna work today or what? Let's start with the Alcor deal. Last week, we went in, we kick the tires. This week, we're gonna take this baby out for a spin. Which reminds me, I want you to take care of the shell corporation that we talked about this morning. I need to take a deposition for my effing uncle. Okay? On to new business, Sun Corp, big-time energy conglomerate in Houston, is acquiring Min Enterprises, a clean-tech play for 2.9 billion.

接下来我们看一下视频中其他的词链
Slippery Slope
Slippery Slope 滑坡效应
slope 斜坡，外表不服整的处所。
slippery滑的，不不变的。
若是某样工具是滑溜溜的，就很难在斜坡上立住。Slippery Slope 指的是一旦起头就很难停行的一系列事务，并且情状有可能变得愈发蹩脚。
例句
Jake should be careful. He's on a very slippery slope.
杰克得小心了。他目前的情状越来越蹩脚。
sit in
sit in 可不是只要坐的意思哦
sit in 可表达列席；参与；旁听
例句
I willsit inon meetings.
我将会参与会议.
Fair enough
Fair enough为白话常见说法，当对方的陈说、决定或者行为合情合理，但可能本身还有良多隐藏的工具没有表达出来时，能够用那个表达。意思是“讲得通”，“说得过去”，“有一些事理”，有时近于浮泛、含混的“嗯”、“哦”、“好”等。
Fair enough既能够表达“积极的必定”
也能够表达“勉强同意”。
例句
"Fair enough,"he said, and momentarily there was a pleasant consensus.
“好吧”，他说.一霎时，我们之间似达成了一个共识，那让人愉快。
"Fair enough,I'm ready to do something else anyway, " Roger replies.
“也行。正好我也筹办玩点此外，”罗杰回道。

kickoff源自于足球，就是开球，发球的意思。后来，那个足球术语逐步引入到贸易中，引申为XX起头，kickoff 是“项目启动会”,经常用于一个项目正式起头的会议用语。
例句
During thekickoff, the team structures were discussed and mapped out for the next release.
在起头研讨会上，针对下一个版本讨论并造定了团队构造。
available
available
指人 “可以出席的, 有时间的”
例句

别的，available描述人时还可表达“独身的”,
not available就是“名花有主或名草有主”的意思。
