New Words For 2008

SALAD DODGER. An excellent phrase for an overweight person.


SWAMP-DONKEY A deeply unattractive person.


TESTICULATING. Waving your arms around and talking bollocks.


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


SITCOMs. Single Income, Two Children, and Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids or start a "home business".


SINBAD. Single working girls. Single income, no boyfriend and desperate.


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.

404. Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not Found" meaning that the requested document could not be located.


AUSSIE KISS. Similar to a French kiss, but given down under.

OH - NO SECOND. That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all'.)


GREYHOUND. A very short skirt, only an inch from the hare.


MILLENNIUM DOMES. The contents of a Wonder bra, i.e. extremely impressive when viewed from the outside, but there's actually nothing in there worth seeing.


MONKEY BATH. A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you 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 in.


MYSTERY TAXI. The taxi that arrives at your place on Saturday morning before you wake up whisks away the stunner you slept with, and leaves a 10-Pinter in your bed instead.


BEER COAT. The invisible but warm coat worn when walking home after a booze cruise at 3:00am.


BEER COMPASS. The invisible device that ensures your safe arrival home after booze cruise, even though you're too drunk to remember where you live, how you got here, and where you've come from.


TART FUEL. Bottled premixed spirits, regularly consumed by young women.
