one fits size all

A horribly botched version of “one size fits all,” usually said by someone trying to sound confident while absolutely not knowing what they’re talking about.

Usage:
Describes anything that is claimed to work for everyone but clearly doesn’t — from T-shirts to tech solutions to your coworker’s “universal” Excel macro that crashes on every PC except his.

“The IT guy said his script works for every machine… a real ‘one fits size all’ solution. It bricked half the office.”

perdiodic

Describes something that was meant to be periodic, but ended up slightly off-schedule or improvised due to real-world constraints.

“Our team holds perdiodic meetings — regular in theory, flexible in practice.”
