• 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.
