Over the years, I’ve squirreled away a miser’s horde of phrases and saying that I’ve overheard or picked up from things I read. Here are a few of my favourites:
- Errorplane. When the GPS in my plane doesn’t do what I think it should do.
- Idiocracy. The rule of idiots.
- Word of mouse. Like word of mouth but online.
- Administrivia. Stats and data collected to make managers happy.
- Its beer-o-clock. My friend’s favourite saying.
- You’ve done me up a kipper. You’ve stitched me up.
- Lie doggo. To hide.
- Overstand. To totally understand something.
- Power corrupts but PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
- Like scultping mercury.
