I only need to refer to my guitars when speaking to non-guitar players, mostly.
In that case, I usually say, "the white one, the black one..., etc."
A guitar player would already know what it is by sight.

I've overheard coworkers having conversations in which nobody said anything but these kind of catch phrases - WTF? Have we forgotten how to formulate our own sentences? For Example:
"We had Joe in the pipeline to help with that because last time he stepped up to the plate on a similar project he really knocked it out of the park. But because Steve dropped the ball on his Jenkins account, Joe had to close the loop by thinking outside the box.
+100000 Basically, all office/business phrases that equate business with sports are irksome. THE WORSE. more: get the ball rolling touch base with you
