"Outside the box" is a synonym of which word?

[Hoot]

outside the brain! I am continually flabergasted by the obsession of otherwise successful business folk to impress others with a new catch phrase, or buzz word that quite often, only makes them appear stupid in the eyes of an educated individual.

Alternative, is a fine word and as far as I am concerned it is a great "alternative" for the very tired neo-phrase "outside the box".

Quite frankly it is really too bad that the genius writing this post didn't think of the word alternative before all of the gen-x losers wasted all of this time using this alternative phrase "outside the box". ALTERNATIVE humm what a great new word!
