Dictionnaire Diabolique's definitions

dis-disease

People afflicted with this condition become pathologically obsessed with disrespect. They keep a detailed record of every past “dis” (real or imagined) and prayerfully page through a hateful little Naughty List each and every day.
If you wanna know what advanced dis-disease looks like, listen to that crazy meth-head Pennsatucky talk: “She disrespected me. Now, I’m gonna have to kill her.”

cc-ebomber

Machiavellian colleague who regularly sends out passive-aggressive emails, cc-ing everyone, whose sole purposes are to: take credit for other people’s work; cast aspersions on colleagues; and give their superiors the impression that they’re taking care of business. As you might expect, cc-ebombers are much-loved by ill-informed management, and much-despised by those who actually have to work with them.
Can't stand that guy. He's such a cc-ebomber.

off the charts

In Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon, “all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.” But in the real world, exceptional people are exceptional. If you say “off the charts” often, there’s something wrong with your charts.
I knew he was a clueless tool when he used the expression “off the charts” three times in one hour.

active listening

That Greg guy's sales numbers are crazy high because he's really good at active listening (i.e., he's really good at making you feel like he's listening to you).

alternative facts

Grant was caught having sex with his wife's best friend. And there was smoking-gun proof: a sex-tape made by a private investigator hired to check up on him. But Kellyanne says she can get him off. She's gonna present his wife with some alternative facts.

Hunger-induced bitchiness.
Look, I know it’s been a long ride, but I’ve had just about enough of your appetude.
