Angel, excellent point. My favorite phrases are:

"We anticipate we'll do..." (read: hey, it's my opinion so I can say anything I want...)

"I've got contracts on my desk worth..." (read: no chance in hell we'll ever close these deals, but if hell freezes over then...)

"If we only get 1% of the market..." (read: we have no business plan, no employees, we're working out of my garage, but...)

"We're meeting with a major brokerage house..." (read: we'll never get by the receptionist but...)
