Common sense

sense of humour failure

A phrase used by a manager as an awkward semi-apology after they lose their temper at their employees. This is the closest to an apology you're likely to get.

Prevalent in the UK tech and consulting sector.

A misplaced arrogance that you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.

Translates to "Hollandse nuchterheid."
"Good thing we Dutch have the Dutch common sense, or else we'd have to learn from other countries' experiences!"
