Someone used that phrase with me today and I confess, it drives me nuts when I hear it and never more so than when someone uses it about himself.
Do people use it because they think it is the highest possible compliment or do they presume that it totally clarifies things? I am always bewildered when I hear it - "What exactly do they do and why are they very good at it?", is what I say to myself.
It may make sense if a person's job included just one task - diamond cutter, mohel, matchbook artist - but otherwise save it for your conversation with other MBAs.
O.D.O.o.O.D.B.
