Office Slang

A list of new office slang. Link. A few of my favorites:

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.”

Blamestorming - A group discussion of why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.

Body Nazis - Hard-core exercise and weight-lifting fanatics who look down on anyone who doesn't work out obsessively.

Chainsaw Consultant - An outside expert brought in to reduce the employee head count, leaving the top brass with clean hands.

Cube Farm - An office filled with cubicles.

Dorito Syndrome - The feeling of emptiness and dissatisfaction triggered by addictive substances that lack nutritional content. “I just spent six hours surfing the Web, and now I've got a bad case of Dorito Syndrome.”

Square-Headed Spouse - Computer.
