Put a pin in that

A douchey/ middle management way to say "let's come back to that later," or, "hold that thought." Increasingly popular in business speak.

Possibly originally from WWII, referring to putting a pin back in a hand grenade so it won't go off.
Employee: "Will we have health benefits during the furlough?"

Mid-level boss: "Let's just put a pin in that, for now."

Flag-Pin Politics

Non-issues that clever politicians use to eclipse real issues.
The best example of Flag-Pin Politics would be to provide examples of things that followers of flag-pin politicians would say:

- "Obama isn't wearing a pin of the American flag - which was probably made in China! He isn't a Patriot™ "

- "I really think I'm going to vote for George Bush, he wants to make homosexual marriages illegal"

- "I'm not sure who I'd vote for, Hillary or McCain, they both want to suspend the federal petrol-tax. They really look out for the common man."
