"We Don't Break that Number Out"

Nick at Valleywag coined a financial gem that I wish I'd thought of first. He is paraphrasing, in his inimitable shit-disturbing way, a spin-filled interview Real Networks' Rob Glaser, and he comes up with this:

RG: In Europe we now download over 100,000 free players a day.

KB: And how many paying subscribers do you have in Europe for your players?

RG: We have not broken out the number of subscribers.

Just like I "have not broken out" the number of supermodels I've slept with.
