"Think outside the box" is the phrase every douchebag boss you've ever had has said to you at least one time. "Think Outside the Box" as a phrase itself has no meaning. It literally has no useful meaning whatsoever. What they WANT it to mean when they say it (They being of course your superiors at every job you hated when you were younger) is for you to exercise your mind and figure out the solution to a problem. The real meaning? "I have no idea how to answer your question, so figure it out for yourself."
