And "That's a very interesting point...", which actually means "That's a pile of bollocks" but is generally heard as "Oooh, he likes what I'm saying".
Also, when a superior says to you, "Here's an opportunity to shine", what s/he actually means is "Right, here's a task that nobody else wants and whether or not you're the right person to do it, I'm lumbering you with it", rather than the perceived "This is a great opportunity for you".

Invariably leads to being dropped into the mother of all **** ups, taking a year out of my life and 10 years off my expected lifetime.
