weekendlessness

a feeling one usually has on Friday in the evening when the weekend has not really started yet, but one already feels so great about the two next days that they seem to be longer than 48 hours

Jack: Weekend!
Mark: Yes, a total weekendlessness! I mean, I know it's only two days, but they seem so great to me that I feel like they will never end. You know what I mean?
Jack: Totally, bro! Totally!

descheiss

a design that is considered cool only because someone famous with the supposed authority called it "cool" and used it, but is in fact crappy, cheap, totally not cool, something that you will not use even for all the money in the world (comes from the word "design" and "scheisse" - a German word for "crap" or "shit");

Joe: Have you seen Jody's new aparment?
Phil: No. How does it look like?
Joe: If you ask me, it's a totall descheiss - I wonder where the hell were her eyes and brain when she was hiring that crazy designer and she was choosing this particular design, recommended by some spoilt celebrity with no taste.
Phil: Wow, it must be really crappy!

translave

to translate e.g. documents in large numbers for someone who clearly overuses his/her authority and position in the company by giving you things he/she could translate by himself/herself

Anita: Busy? What are you doing?
Tony: I've just learnt that my job is also to translate or I should say: translave. So I'm translaving this moron's presentation. It is so basic that he could do it by himself, but of course - he has his people to do it. I hate the fact that I can speak Spanish.

corpocrap

all the things (from e-mails, newsletters to speeches) corporate authorities, especially CEOs, are telling or sending to their employees - very general information, full of cheap marketing and really poor PR slogans, often describing bad things (e.g.closing of the factory in one city/country and moving it another where the cost are low) with nice words (development and cost-saving initiative)

Paul: I heard our CEO had a speech yesterday.
Charlie: Yeah, usual corpocrap.
Paul: Right... we are loosing our jobs and he's telling us about what the company will get when it moves to China.

favor-friend

a person who gives you a call or comes to you only when he/she needs a favor and uses the fact that you have a good heart - if he/she doesn't need anything from you, there will be no "how are you?" question or anything, but still this person will pretend that he/she is your great friend;

Bruno: I'm disappointed with my friendship with Alice. I used to believe we were friends, but now I see she's only a favor-friend. It is I who usually starts conversation, who calls, send Christmas wishes, who asks how things are going and so on. She nevers does so. She calls only when she needs something. Sad...

Mephistofella

a person who has a bad influence on you - it is like a cartoon devil sitting on your shoulder and making you commit sin, crime etc. - from Mephistopheles - the demon in the Faust legend

Frank: What happened to Jeremy? He used to be such a good student and all.
Susan: Well, he started hanging out with this new boy, Jason, a real Mephistofella, that dragged him into cigarettes, alcohol and drugs.
