When something is said that is so complete, clear, clever, and simply so perfect for

While not strictly limited to work, certainly the most

BOSS: "Jenkins, why are we exhibiting at the Business Expo this week?"
EOMPLOYEE: "Because a 600 of the largest buyers of our products
will be in attendance. We've pre-marketed to all of them and have face-to-face pitch meetings pre-arranged with 40. By closing an average size
deal at our average selling price with just
2 of them, we
will have return on our investment in excess of 500%."
Now that's a Pants Down Explanation.
