Not too long ago, our local newspaer had a funny article in the business section. In this piece, the author listed a series of phrases used in the business world to describe various behaviors. Here are some of them:
Blamestorming - a meeting to discuss failures and find a scapegoat
Assmosia - the apparent absorption of success that comes from sucking up (aka kissing a**)
Deja moo - the feeling that you've heard this bunch of bullsh*t before
Mouse potato - a close cousin to the coach potato this is a person who spends hours and hours in front of a computer (see Napolean Dynomite)
Percussive maintenance - the common practice of 'fixing' something by banging on it repeatedly
Photox - improving the look of one's face in a photo through the use of graphic software
Dope-ler effect - the principle that stupid ideas sound better when they come at you quickly
Drink the Kool-Aid - accept company policy without question
Multi-slacker - someone who can perform many unproductive things at the same time
RDB - the 'rectal database' the origin of ideas pulled out of one's rear end
Spokeweasel - a PR person who is exceptionally good at spin
Cyberslacking - wasting time by casually browsing the Internet
It's amazing how often I experience each of these at my job. What about you?!
