fleemail

An escape from a convoluted, multi-addressed chain of email that no longer interests or involves the writer in any meaningful way.

Please consider this my fleemail and eliminate me from further cc lists, but do continue blathering amongst yourselves."

lost google

Word or information you meant to google when you had computer access, but then forgot until you were, again, without access.

dreadlock

The mental traffic jam that arises out of worry. A dreaded future event -- report deadline, court appearance, meeting with boss -- is played over and over again in the brain, locking out other, more productive thoughts and often resulting in insomnia and excessive alcohol consumption.

I've been in dreadlock over today's presentation. Are you sure we're ready?

gas-and-go

An auto racing pit stop for refueling but not changing tires. Often occurs near the end of the race and under green flag conditions, when limiting time in the pits is deemed more important than fresh rubber. This pit strategy is also used to gain positions under yellow flag conditions, when other cars are taking tires. Considered a risky move at those tracks that wear tires quickly. Not changing tires can add seconds a lap to a car's times.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr., does not have a enough Sunoco fuel to make it to the end of the race. He will be coming into the pits in three laps for a gas-and-go, says crew chief Lance McGrew.
