- Betamaxed - When a technology is overtaken in the market by inferior but better marketed competition as in “Microsoft betamaxed Apple right out of the market”
- CROP DUSTING - Surreptitiously farting while passing thru a cube farm, then enjoying the sounds of dismay and disgust; leads to PRAIRIE DOGGING.....
- Glazing - Corporate-speak for sleeping with your eyes open; a popular pastime at conferences and early-morning meetings. “Didn’t he notice that by the second session half the room was glazing?”
- Mouse Potato - The online generation’s answer to the couch potato.
- Prairie Dogging - When something loud happens in a cube farm, causing heads to pop up over the walls trying to see what’s going on.
- Seagull Manager - A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, shits over everything and then leaves.
- Square-Headed Spouse - Computer
- Swiped Out - An ATM or credit card that has been used so much its magnetic strip is worn away.
- Uninstalled - Euphemism for being fired. Also: decruitment.
- 404 - Someone who is clueless. From the Web error message, “404 Not Found,” which means the document requested couldn’t be located. “Don’t bother asking John. He’s 404.”
