TESTICULATING. Waving your arms around and talking B0llocks.

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, cr@ps 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.

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.)


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

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

OHNOSECOND. That minuscule fraction of time in which you realise that you've
just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit reply all?)

GOING FOR A McSHIT. Entering a fast food restaurant with no intention of
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 McShit with Lies.

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

BOBFOC. Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch.

BRITNEY SPEARS. Modern Slang for 'beers', e.g. "Couple of Britneys please"

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

JOHNNY-NO-STARS. A young man of substandard intelligence, the typical
adolescent who works in a burger restaurant. The no-stars comes from the
badges displaying stars that staff at fast-food restaurants often wear to
show their level of training.

NELSON MANDELA. Rhyming Slang for Stella (the lager)

PEARL HARBOUR. Cold (weather). An example of it would be - "It's a bit Pearl
Harbour" out there (there's a nasty nip in the air)
