OK, don't know about you lot but I'm just about done with checking here to
find nothing doing, so here are some new words and phrases for 2007 to amuse
you while we wait for summat (anything?) from Plowie's Blog*:





TESTICULATING. Waving your arms around and talking ********.



BLAMESTORMING. 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.



ASSMOSIS. The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement
by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.



SALMON DAY. The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only
to get screwed and die.



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 that's going on. (This also
applies to applause for a promotion because there may be cake.)



SITCOMs. Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. (What Yuppies
turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE. The fine art of whacking the crap out of an
electronic device to get it to work again.



ADMINISPHERE. The rarefied organisational layers beginning just above the
rank and file. Decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often
profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to
solve. This is often affiliated with the dreaded "Administrivia" - needless
paperwork and processes.

just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all')

buying food, you're just going to the bog. (If challenged by a pimply staff
member, your declaration to them that you'll buy their food afterwards is
known as a 'McPOO with Lies'.)

box'.

booze cruise, even though you're too drunk to remember where you live, how
you got here and where you've come from.

MILLENNIUM DOMES. The contents of a Wonderbra, i.e. extremely impressive
when viewed from the outside, but there's actually naught in there worth
seeing.

go:"Oo!Oo!Oo! Aa!Aa!Aa!".



MYSTERY BUS. The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in
the toilet after your 10th pint, and whisks away all the unattractive people
so the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back out.
