Bullshit as usual

Also known as BAU. An ambiguous catchphrase commonly used in the corporate environment assigning importance to one's otherwise non-busy or lazy day.

Known to some people as 'business as usual', however this naming is factually incorrect, as it is only a product of an unspoken consensus so that workers have an exit route explanation available for their lazy-ass days during daily stand-ups.

Existence of this phrase is a living proof of suboptimally performing, bull-shit tolerating status quo cultures in some corporations.
A: So what is your agenda for today?

B: You know, just business as usual...

A: *cough* Bullshit as usual. *cough*

(Deep inside we all know you're just bullshitting your way through the day, Karen!)
