You can tell he's been working for The Man for a while from the verbage. I
do too and hear "double edged sword" at least three times a week.

"On the same page" or "on the same sheet of music" is way over used. I
dropped "tightly coupled" on my CW3 the other day.

"BLUF:" Learn what they want to hear and are comfortable with, then just get
the interview, and "KISS"; just "SWAG" it, and don't "stir the pot" and
you're golden.
