New Terminology
 
You can't be cool if you're using outdated lingo.
Here's the latest from my friends in the corporate and Silicon Valley jungles:
 
generica
fast food joints, strip malls, sub-divisions as in "we were so lost in generica that I couldn't remember what city it was"
 
irritainment
annoying but you can't stop watching - as in the O.J. trial
 
percussive maintenance
the fine art of whacking the crap out of a device to get it working
 
prairie dogging
in companies where everyone has a cubicle something happens and everyone pops up to look
 
square headed girlfriend
computer
 
treeware
manuals and documentation
 
um-friend
sexual relationship "this is Mary, my...um...friend"
 
world wide wait
