circle talker

Someone, usually in a work setting, who spends too much time dwelling on an initial strategy, innevitably leaving very little time to exceute.
We've had this assignment for three weeks and a clear direction for two weeks. Why does that circle talker insist on talking about how we're going to get started. We're never going to have time to actually excecute the project.

the grown-ups are talking

An overly derogatory and condescending way of telling someone that their input in a given conversation is childish and/or uneducated and will not heighten the level of intelligence in the discussion.

Also is used when one is short-tempered and unwilling to deal with more than one person in a heated discussion.
Person 1: What country do you think is the most technologically advanced in the world?

Person 2: Well Japan has to be in the top three - if not the number one most advanced in the world.

Person 3: Somalia's gotta be up there too.

Person 2: Okay, the grown-ups are talking. Just stand over there.

Husband: I can't believe you cheated on me with my best friend!

Wife: Well, I wasn't thinking straight and he's always there for me.

Husband's best friend: I am around a lot.

Husband: Jesus Christ, the grown-ups are talking! Go the fuck away.

we're talking about practice

1.) A discussion focused on trivial matters, not related to the big picture
2.) A meaningless exchange
3.) A downplay of a criticism of oneself
"It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that? ... Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about practice. We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now. ... Hey I hear you, it's funny to me too, hey it's strange to me too but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, we're talking about practice ... How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?"
