Then a miracle occurs

The standard method for having an unreasonable deadline met just in time. Usually quoted when the time given, staffing levels or design constraints will not be met in any other way.

Sam: "This project will take three months from beginning to end, design, develop and test."

Boss: "It's due in three weeks."

Sam: "Well, we take one week to train sixteen new people, one week to do all of the design work, and four days to write the code. Then a miracle occurs, and we ship just before the deadline."

tarped

A specialized injury found often in baseball parks. As the tarp is run out over the field to protect the surface from rain, one of the team trips (or loses a leg), and is covered by the tarp.

Where's Walt?

I don't know. He was just here. What's that bump over there?

Dude. Walt got tarped.

Catholic Poop

A Catholic Poop is a poop so vile-smelling that your roommate or Spousal Unit is forced to light a candle to try to counteract the odor.

Wow! Light the candles and say a novena! That was one nasty Catholic Poop!

no-sleeper

A no-sleeper is the corporate equivalent to a no-hitter - a presentation in which nobody dozes off.

Kurt had a no-sleeper going until he got to the financing options slides - then he lost it. Badly.
