New words for 2003

Can't remember if this has been posted or not. If it has, I apologise, here it is again. For the newbies, enjoy.<br><br>BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.<br><br>SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.<br><br>ASSMOSIS: The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.<br><br>SALMON DAY: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die in the end.<br><br>CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.<br><br>PRAIRIE *******: 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.<br><br>MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato. (could be anybody on here!)<br><br>SITCOMS: Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids.<br><br>STRESS PUPPY: A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiney.<br><br>SWIPEOUT: An ATM or credit card that has been rendered useless because the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use.<br><br>XEROX SUBSIDY: Euphemism for swiping free photocopies from one's workplace.<br><br>PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.<br><br>404: Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message&quot;404 Not Found,&quot; meaning that the requested document could not be located.<br><br>OHNOSECOND: That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.<br><br>WOOFYS: Well Off Older Folks.<br><br>Bold ones are my personal favorites.<br><br>~Dave<br>

I wonder how many people know who this refers too? If you don't, just ask your friendly neighborhood (but guard your daughters) squid.
