Universal donor

In the proofreading business, a document that is full of typographical errors, aka, “typos.” The expression is a play on the concept of the so-called universal blood donor: type O being the blood type that can be donated and transfused to anyone regardless of their blood type, a “universal donor” document is … full of Type Os.

Chad, take this universal donor back to your desk and fix all the !@#$% misspellings and punctuation errors, jeez.

Coexpensive

Costing the same

"Hey, from here, a trip to Paris is roughly coexpensive with going to Hawaii -- let's go to France."

Or: "Outsourcing payroll is going to be coexpensive with keeping it in house, so I could go either way on it."

It's obviously a play on "coextensive."
