I don't know, I've been around a few managers and my favorite pointless managerisms are
"It is what it is" and "we don't know what we don't know".

IMHO, "It is what it is." == "I don't give a rat's a--."

I've always found "It is what it is" to fit that role.

A good snotting every time he has to use this phrase will not only remove the phrase from his vocabulary but will stop the activities that require it.

When you huff tear gas until your nose is running like a firehose and then blow it out all over the trouble maker. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A 'Good snotting' is a 'Good flogging' or 'Having the shite kicked out of you.
So I (or myself) was explining that if the OP gave his kid a flogging every time he elephanted up, the elephanting up would reduce if not cease.

I found Bob this afternoon in my post-box. The kids got exited but what most touched me is a hand-written note from Kevin (of CP) with a thanks...
Now all left is to decide where to stick Bob...

I have also received Bob into my life. A couple of weeks ago. He's on my car.

No laptop, and even the new phone is too small for Bob...

Every time I think, "I'll write an article about that!", I do a quick search and find someone already has! So far no articles but lots of intentions. Ho hum...

Often there are several articles on a subject - but that doesn't mean there isn't room for another - maybe you do it a different way, or can explain it better.

In Android Web view - HTML page was rendered and inside the HTML page, if we click the internal link (which needs to redirect to other page through SUBMIT - POST action) it was n't working.
Can anyone suggests some options how to resolve that?
