The story goes that at NASA a management droid was briefing some senior 
engineers using a bewildering array of terms and units.  The engineers 
were obviously unimpressed.  Finally one of the senior engineers raised 
his hand and asked him to express the speed in furlongs per fortnight.

"furlongs per fortnight" is a standard way to of saying "cut the crap"
