Does just broader vocabulary count? Maybe it's just a rule that everyone sits down with a dictionary every couple of weeks for 30 minutes just opening it to a random page.
Also, more latin phrases. That's cool shit.

MODERATORS
Here's how it is, spoken by Malcolm Reynolds.
Hot diggity dog, let's strike while the iron is hot and get on the ball while it's rolling with some old tyme phrases.
Crocodile done deal
Ever since reading it in my kids' Bluey book: bumblenuts (context is, "g'day, bumblenuts!" following an introduction)
not hear, but read…see?: aluminium, your is possessive and you’re is you are (IT’S NOT THAT HARD IF YOU ARE FLUENT IN ENGLISH), it’s vs its (NOT THAT HARD EITHER FOR NATIVE SPEAKERS)
Hysteresis
Knowing the word would ideally be due to people knowing the meaning of it, which most people can't grasp. Especially important for most political actions, such as tariffs and climate change.
Could we adresse this point in a separate meeting with relevant people ?
We elected dumb motherfuckers in office
Vaccinations are mandatory
Religion is stupid
I'm sorry
I was wrong
Not a particular phrase, but I'd like if people asked more questions, even if they sound like stupid questions, than to assume the answer.
