LOL. I had my boss call me out on this once. I made an offhand comment about doing something "in a few days" while on a customer call (yeah, I should have known better), leaving him to patiently explain to the customer that I meant a basic PoC and that would actually take us quite a few weeks to productize after we got it working :-)
