On the committee
The Committee
A group of fine gentlemen that looks to enjoy the little things in life and provide happiness to the world around it. The members and associates are very good friends and can count on one another for support in times of need. Known for the "Bros B4 Hoes" mentality, and often seen at 7-Eleven or in a Ford Focus.
Example:
Tom Cruise: "Man, I sure wish I could be a member of The Committee. Hell, I'd even jump on Oprah's couch again!"
Megan Fox: "Haven't you heard? The Committee is an exclusive organization, and you can only be an associate if you are a hot chick or a blood brother. COMEON!"

Super Committee
Ironic slang for a committee formed to have lots of meetings, get nothing done, and ultimately defer a problem. Often created as a delay tactic when members of an organization are more concerned with preserving their own standing than working towards the greater good.
Example:
John: Our problems seem so easy to solve if both sides compromise. It's just basic common sense.
Sally: Don't be so sure. The people in charge just formed a Super Committee.
John: I guess I'll keep reading Sartre.

death by committee
The slow, painful death of a project prior to completion due to its assignment to a committee. May occur due to squabbling, apathy, or a lack of individual accountability among the members.
