You won't believe how many times I've been in a discussion about something and the other person has said "oh that's easy to do" or "it can be done in a few hours" when in fact if they were to go into the details, they would see the hiding devil...
My personal red-flag phrase is "You just need to ..."
Favorite occurence: "You just need to build a state machine." Yeah, saving the whole browser-side state (did I mention third-party GUI components?) of an application and reestablishing the server-side session state to match it is really easy with this piece of sage advice.

"Just" is unofficially a banned word around here. :)
