My favourite saying used by people who have no idea what it really means, and actually use it to describe the exact opposite of what it means, is quantum leap. I love it when a proud politician opens a
new telescope or whatever, and says "this instrument will provide a
quantum leap in our knowledge of the universe". It's going to take us a long time to learn much if our knowledge increases in quantum leaps.
