I found this list of workplace vocabulary and was wondering if any CFCers could add to it and improve it:

Workplace Vocabulary
We’ve all brainstormed, thought outside the box and we’ve all been part of a win-win situation! But here’s a new set of work phrases, any look familiar? Our personal favorite? It’s got to be Assmosis!

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 some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing 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 in the end.

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.

OHNOSECOND: That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.

CROP DUSTING: Surreptitiously farting while passing through a Cube Farm.

My favourite is the Prairie dogging one!

Pavlov's Phone: When you come home from work, the phone rings, and you automatically answer it the way you do at work.
"Good afternoon, this is ____, how may I help you?"

It sounds like a lot of these were invented by Scott Adams....

Mr. Potato Head: The one guy who has all the crappy jobs on his resume.

Moved to H&J. :)

In my office, people kept referring to managemnet as the "adminisphere". Not me. I called them the "catastrophere". :lol:
