BLAME STORMING: Sitting around in a group,
discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was
responsible.
SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes
a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.
PRAIRIE DOGGING: When someone yells or drops
something loudly in a cube farm, and people's heads pop up over
the walls to see what's going on.
MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's
answer to the couch potato.
SITCOMs: (Single Income, Two Children,
Oppressive Mortgage) What yuppies turn into when they have children and one
of
them stops working to stay home with the kids.
STARTER MARRIAGE: A short-lived first marriage
that ends in divorce with no kids, no property and no regrets.
STRESS PUPPY: A person who seems to thrive on
being stressed out and whiny.
SWIPED OUT: An ATM or credit card that has been rendered useless because
the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use.
XEROX SUBSIDY: Euphemism for swiping free
photocopies from one's workplace.
ASSMOSIS: The process by which some people seem to absorb success and
advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.
IRRITAINMENT: Entertainment and media spectacles that are annoying but
you find yourself unable to stop watching them. The O.J. trials were a
prime example. Bill Clinton's shameful video Grand Jury testimony is
another.
PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the heck out of an
electronic
device to get it to work again.
VULCAN NERVE PINCH: The taxing hand position required to reach all the
appropriate keys for certain commands. For instance, the arm reboot for
a Mac II computer involves simultaneously pressing the Control Key, the
Command Key, the Return Key, and the Power On key.
YUPPIE FOOD STAMPS: The ubiquitous $20 bills spewed out of ATMs
everywhere. Often used when trying to split the bill after
a meal, "We each owe $8, but all anybody's got are yuppie food stamps."
SALMON DAY: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream
only to get screwed and die in the end.
ADMINISPHERE: The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above the
rank and file.
404: Someone who's clue less. From the World Wide Web error message
"404, Not Found" meaning that the requested document could not be
located."
GENERICA: Features of the American landscape that are exactly the same
no matter where one is, such as fast food joints, strip malls,
subdivisions.
OHNOSECOND: That minuscule fraction of time in
which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.
