The Office2005

Jan Levinson-Gould:
Sports metaphors are one of the ways women feel left out of the language of the office. Now, I know this might sound silly, but many women ask to go over it, so, "fumble" means...

Phyllis:
Mistake.

Meredith:
Slip.

Jan Levinson-Gould:
Right. "Par for the course" is a golf term. It means "right on track." "Below par" means "worse." Wait. That should mean better. That doesn't make sense.

Kelly Kapoor:
What about "second base"? Like, if Michael said he got to second base with you, does that mean you, like, closed a deal?

Jan Levinson-Gould:
Excuse me?

Kelly Kapoor:
I mean, that's a baseball term, right?

Jan Levinson-Gould:
I don't know what Michael was talking about. I don't know.
