Down a bunny slope?

On a conference call today, one of the participants said she was worried we were “going down a bunny slope.”

She meant going down a rabbit hole, meaning getting off topic. She was right; we were getting sidetracked from our call’s main focus.

But here’s reason five gazillion to watch your cliches and corporate-speak. If you get the phrase wrong… youch. “Bunny slope?” Sure hope I managed to hit the mute button before I started belly laughing.
