HR says 'no comment' 

Saying, in essence, that you can't answer that question, since, to the Human Resources dept, it might qualify as sexual harassment to say what you really feel.
Them: So, Mike, I heard that the USTTA changed the size of ping pong balls. How big are YOUR balls? Heh heh.

Me: (smiling) HR says 'no comment'.

Someone else at work: So, have you met Warren's new receptionist, Julie? What do you think about her?

Me: (smiling) HR says 'no comment'. (serious face) Seriously though, she seems competent.

Probably the only meme that got old the very first day it was released. It refers to Tom Cruise's crazy Scientology video that got removed from YouTube with the text "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International"
random dude: Tom Cruse sure is crazy eh?
noob: This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International
random dude: God damn, that meme got old yesterday

no-comments-but-crisis policy 

a policy and a way of dealing with one's company that has been widely in use since the media/banks/governments reported a financial crisis; it is a justification for various actions: staff reductions, cancelled payrise, lowered wages though none of these are necessary (because the company is doing well and needs no changes); it is a perfect explanation for everything if your general manager plans to fire some employees/cut wages and needs a good reason;
George: Crap, we're going to have staff reductions!
Will: What?
George: Yup, there were rumors, so we asked our boss about it, and despite good results of our company, half of us is going to be fired. We asked why and we heard that it was due to the financial crisis. End of story. Another example of no-comments-but-crisis policy.

NoComment 

NoComment is a term used to avoid conversation, incriminating, conflict, arguments.
My girl asked me who ate the last crab leg, I replied NoComment!

The police came over asking about a shooting, I looked at the officers and stated NoComment.

Dray, did you cheat on me; NoComment
