Office Terminology Explained
Lately I have realized that the talk around the office would almost appear as if encrypted to the unstrained ear. I wanted to take a little time to explain some of the words.
Gross:
Dictionary: Offensive; disgusting
Office: used to describe a geek form of creativity
Disgusting:
Dictionary: To excite nausea or loathing in; sicken
Office: used to describe a geek form of unprecedented creativity
Boughetto:
Dictionary: N/A
Office: a mixture of boughy(French term for rich, fancy, etc) and ghetto(urban term for opposite of boughy) EX. Authenticating a user by passing credentials to a webpage and then searching for the text "You have successfully logged in" on an authentication page instead of checking it against an encrypted password file is boughetto.
Huge:
Dictionary: Of exceedingly great size, extent, or quantity
Office: Used to describe a major geek breakthrough. When used properly it is pronounced more like Hewge!
Hu Huuu:
Dictionary: ???
Office: Vocal Yelp to relay to others that a time of celebration is at hand in regards to a major geek breakthrough. This is performed by the individual experiencing the breakthrough screaming "Can I get A" and a co-worker is responsible for yelping "Hu HUUUU". Leaving someone hanging on a Hu HUUU is punishable by mandatory use of IE for a week (New Policy).
Nuts:
Dictionary: An indehiscent, hard-shelled, one-loculated, one-seeded fruit, such as an acorn or hazelnut
Office: Used to praise geek efforts, but it really means I don't have time to think about it right now NEXT!
Jim McPete(Totty I may have the spelling wrong):
Dictionary: Some Dude???
Office: A glorious use of the up yours signal. Ex. Man, you should give that jerk the Jim McPete!
I know I have to be leaving something out. Is there anything else guys??
