After a string of HIDEOUS meetings that I have to feign death to get out of, I have arranged with my assistant a safety word.  If she hears me screaming BANANA, she is to somehow interrupt the meeting and save the victim...er...person I'm with from a sure pummeling.

 

Examples of usage:

 

"I sure wish I had that BANANA muffin."

 

"Sure, just let me sign that with my BANANA pen."

 

"I think that'll go over as well as BANANA flavoured coffee!"

 

and if all goes deep six, then I'll just hang out my office door yelling
