Office Calendar of Idioms

beat the dead horse push someone’s buttons skate on thin ice beat around the bush put in my 2 cents knock it till i try it address the elephant in the room

A blue digital calendar is packed with time slots labeled with English idioms and phrases, including “beat the dead horse,” “push someone’s buttons,” and “address the elephant in the room.” The joke is that someone has scheduled an entire workday for irritating, avoiding, and confronting people through clichés, turning common expressions into literal office appointments. It works as a reaction to an overly busy day, passive-aggressive behavior, or someone taking idioms too literally.
