Consultant speak

This week's project progress meeting with my friendly consultants produced an unexpected development in business English, while the meeting took place in Portuguese.

Analysing a function that needs to be implemented but has never existed due to the small size of the company, they suggested that it might be outsourced, or insourced! Logical, but wrong.

So should the function be outsourced or in-house? I don't really care. But anyone suggesting it should be insourced will be banished to the outhouse!
