Buzzwords

Now that we live in a world where there are new words to match new meanings, some have come to light that are pretty stupid, but i/smart, (no not me). I'm sure there are a zillion of them, but here are a few of the top ones, with comments of course !

Cellywood: Mini movies created for cell phones. ( I'd can produce one of these.)

Adminispam: Useless e mail sent from upper echelon bureaucrats that's not applicable to your area, about people that you'll never work with or issues you will never face. ( what, about 5 a day ? )

Shovel-ready: A construction project that already has received its approvals and permits from various goverment agencies and is ready for development. I.E. This site is shovel-ready. ( Like my back yard ? )

Grayed-out: Excluded or denied. Taken from software where some icons are "grayed-out" and can only be used by authorized personnel with the correct password. In real life, a person has been "grayed-out" if he or she has been excluded from a meeting, project, conversation, etc. ( sounds like most of my work experience, or filing taxes )

Windshield time: Time spent driving to a job or business appointment. I.E. We can boost sales by reducing windshield time. ( I doubt that is gonna help ! )

Spammified: When a legit e-mail ends up in your spam folder, which has also become the digital world's hottest excuse. I.E. Sory, just got your message. It got spammified. ( Like that's gonna hold up )

Blamestorming: A group process where paticipants analyze a failed project and look for scapegoats other than themselves. ( I didn't do it ! )

Death by Tweakage: When a product or project fails due to unnecessary tinkering or too many last-minute revisions. ( Sounds like getting ready for work/school )

Prairie Dogging: A modern office phenomenon. Occurs when workers simultaneously pop their heads up out of their cubiclesto see what is going on. ( Freakin nosey asses, SIT DOWN ! )

Carbon-based error: Error caused by a human, not a computer ( which we assume would be a silicon-based error ). ( Again, I didn't do it ! )

Deja Poo: The feeling that youv'e stepped in this bull before. ( So that's what that smell is ... )

Bobbleheading: The mass nod of agreement by participants in a meeting to comments made by the boss even though most have no idea what the hell they just said. ( yes yes yes no no no yes no )

Mancation: A man's vacation, ( DAH ) Generally includes lots of beer, a weber grill, slabs of meat for cooking and a sack of fireworks. ( every Friday nite, heh heh )

Well, it's Friday nite, so ahh, read above. ^ You got some new words, send to me. But don't send to \/ ( addy below ).

Thanks Cargirl.
