Which dictionary did you use?

Medalling. Sounds too much like meddling, and given the stories coming out of some athletics coaching establishments, probably best avoided.
I'm not gonna lie/to be (if I'm) honest. Implying that you would do the opposite under other circumstances but this time is an exception.

A round of sandwiches is two slices of bread, buttered, with a filling. Curious thing is that the round is square.

Another bit of unbearable American corporate speak. The one I hated - and still do - is "let go". A friend of mine who worked for an American bank described a colleague of his, whom I knew, as having been "let go". Err...no, he was fired (or maybe made redundant). "Let go" makes it sound as if he was some sort of caged animal, on whom his employers had suddenly taken pity. | |
