He was promoted via arsemosis

I discovered this list of terms that are so apt in different facets of my life for people/situations I deal with every day:

Blamestorming - Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.

Ego surfing - Scanning the net for references to one's own name.

Mouse potato - The online generation's answer to the couch potato.

Treeware - documentation or any printed material.

Arsemosis - The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.

Irritainment - Entertainment and media spectacles that are annoying but you find yourself unable to stop watching.

Percussive maintenance - The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it working again.

Square-headed girlfriend - Another word for computer. The victim of a square-headed girlfriend is a computer widow.

Oh yeah, and for those asking. That crap isn't going to stop us from going.

Happy New Financial Year folks. Hope you weren't up all night fagging. Long live the smoking ban that starts today!
