How much "product" do you have on hand?
What's worse is to hear it used by hairdressers. "It looks like you're using a lot of product in your hair." "You need to start thinking about the quality of product you're buying." "See this residue? It's all product."

I don't know why, but hair really squicks me out. I guess it seems like a really intimate thing. I like my hair, I like my husband's beard. But the thought of hairdressers always reminds me of that guy from the X-files who stole a lock of hair from the dead body.

The place where Ron used to work had this really unusually stupid manager. People visiting from other offices called him "Sling Blade" behind his back (after main character in the movie by that name).
He would say someone was "out of pocket" when they weren't in the office or available to work on a specific project.
He'd also tell people to "break wind on this project" when he meant "get started on this project."

"Out of pocket" is popular slang around here. It's not as ubiquitous as "cool," but in a strange way, it is appropriate. I can imagine the alternative. "You, my friend, are twenty minutes late and have exhausted the premium on our friendship, and as such, my good will will not be paying for our time together. You are going to have to pay from where it hurts."

I dont know if I have ever told you this, Rabbit, but you have to be the funniest person I have never met.
