Sniglets
sniglet (sng'lt)
1. (n.) Any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should.
For those who are just now tuning in, I'm a programmer, so here are some of my favorite sniglets from WhatIs. I won't list them all here because there are too many.
alpha geek - the most knowledgeable, technically proficient person in an office or work group.
assmosis - the process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.
blamestorming - sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.
cube farm - an office filled with cubicles.
oxoxomoron - a person who includes symbolic "hugs and kisses" at the end of their e-mail.
stress puppy - a co-worker who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiney.
