bossywork

Bossywork is busywork specifically designed to make your boss look less ignorant about his job. It consists of producing pages of documentation to explain the obvious or prove negatives (the product didn't change, so we don't need new education.) Much of bossywork consists of building slide decks from portions of other slide decks, since no manager can be expected to read more than one deck per day.

I have to get this bossywork done before the design committee meets since my boss is the committee chair. Hopefully, after that, I can get some real work done.

express love

Express Love is the pain of having a crush on your regular FedEx or UPS driver, and ordering more and more stuff from the Internet just to get a glimpse of him (her).

I'm in Express Love with Alan, my UPS driver. He's dreamy.

Four-legged Rake

A four-legged rake is a dog that insists on rolling in fresh-cut grass or piles of dead leaves, just for the sheer joy of carrying them into the house with him. Once, the leaves are on your floor or furniture, they become yard dandruff.

My Chihuahua is a four-legged rake. He just brought in half the lawn.

freezer diving

Eating whatever is left in the back of the freezer, rather than actually cleaning up and going out for real food. It's dumpster diving for people who have homes.

Bill? You're eating a vegetarian burrito. When did you decide to try the vegetarian lifestyle?

I'm not. It's my ex-girlfriend's from freshman year. I was freezer diving.

spousal unit

Good generic term for your husband, wife or partner, especially when you don't want to mention a specific name in your blog or novel (or you can't remember.)

My spousal unit is really annoying today.

Fitbit Amnesia

All the walking, jogging and miscellaneous exercise done while your Fitbit is off, recharging. It doesn't matter how much you complain, your friends will never believe you. This seems to happen at least once a week.

"I walked eight full laps around the mall yesterday, but I was suffering from Fitbit Amnesia, so it looks like I only walked 42 steps."
