Microsoft Answer

A technically correct, but completely useless answer, usually given by supervisors. The usual, and correct response, is to wish your supervisor's parents had never met.

"Man, I went and asked the boss about whether or not we'd be covered for an accident when we're dropping off the night deposit. All she said was, 'well, deposits have to be made nightly' Talk about a Microsoft Answer!!"

Premature answer checking

Looking in the back of one's textbook to "check" homework answers before actually attempting the problem.

Wow, we have a lot of math homework. I will be doing a lot of premature answer checking tonight.

George Costanza Answering Machine

A George Costanza Answering Machine is when you record a ridiculous greeting people hear when they call your answering machine. It comes from an episode of "Seinfeld" where George's greeting is himself singing a song off key to avoid talking to his girlfriend.

I HATE calling Paul when he isn't home. He has a George Costanza Answering Machine.
