Have you ever noticed that the phrase ‘brain trust’ is hardly ever used for its intended purpose? Here’s the definition according to dictionary.com:

brain trust (noun) – a group of experts from various fields who serve as unofficial consultants on matters of policy and strategy.

Whenever I’ve seen ‘brain trust’ used, it’s almost always been used in a sarcastic way. You are far more likely to hear this phrase, ‘I’d love to see the f*cking brain trust that wrote this piece of sh*t’, than you are to hear this phrase, ‘this document is amazing; who is the brain trust behind it?’.
