Shovel Ready
I recently heard our dean of academic affairs use the term “shovel ready” to refer to the progress of a campus construction project. I’d never heard that term before… A group of English faculty members experimented with remediating it to mean “ready to dig your own grave,” but I don’t think that meaning will stick.
