Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to Red tape. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

0:00
How does it sound?
Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • I tried to book a meeting room but Facilities wanted a risk assessment, three approvals, and a spreadsheet. Bloody red tape, mate.
  • Getting the permit took months, buried under endless red tape.
  • We could've fixed it in ten minutes, but there was so much red tape the whole thing got shoved into next week.
  • I'm not asking for a parade, just the form signed. All this red tape is doing my head in.
  • We had the funding ready to go, then Procurement lobbed another stack of red tape at it and the whole thing stalled.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
