press rifle 

(from PR - "public relations" and transformed into "press rifle") public relations practices from press releases that correct unfavorable statements to complex crisis management when PR specialists and managers need to act like a QRF - quick reaction force, not to leave the incident, rumor, claim or charge without comment, especially when the accusations made by the press (or media in general) are aggressive and require adequate response similar to counter-attack with precise and effective hit on the charge, thus similar to using a rifle;
The agency used the best of their press rifle practices to suppress the media chatter and counter the charges against the chairman of the company.

veni, vidi, wiki 

refers to a Latin sentence "veni, vidi, vici" - "I came, I saw, I conquered" by Julius Caesar - in this case it means "I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia" ("wiki" instead of "vici") and describes a tendency to look for solution to every problem or answer to any question in Wikipedia without considering any other source;
John: That's a nice essay.
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki, bro!
John: Veni-what?
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki. I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia! I just typed the topic and I got all the answers. No library, no sitting with books till midnight. I conquered!

corpsucker 

from "cocksucker" and "corporation"; refers to a person in the corporation - usually a superior (particularly from top-managment) or another employee with "good connections" who makes other people's lives miserable, messes up someone's good work, steals ideas and presents them as his/her own, gives illogical tasks and apart from taking money does nothing.
Jim: This new marketing fella was supposed to be our manager, but all he does is playing with his iPhone or giving me things to do that make no sense. Not to mention his lack of respect for people who has been working here for ages and who could have been his bosses with their experience in the field.
Brian: Yeah, a real corpsucker. Screw him!

St. Valentine's Day Massucker

(refers to the mob shooting in 1929 - the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and the St. Valentine's Day itself; comes from "massacre" and "sucker") a total destruction of hopes and dreams of people who sent Valentine cards to their dream-boyfriends/-girlfriends, where they usually finally have the courage to show their feelings, hoping that this would allow them to start a beautiful relationship - the hopes and dreams end up with a failure (because of being rejected by the "beloved one"), often involving being made fun of and laughted at in front of the whole class or school and eventually called a loser and a sucker;
Alan fell in love with Jen the very moment he saw here, but she was out of his league. He was always somewhere around her, waiting for the right moment to tell here about his feelings. And so there was St. Valentine's Day. He sent her a beautiful, hand-made card, where he described his affection. Not only did she rejected him, but also showed the card to all the worst possible people she could have shown it to, so they all made fun of Alan for like a month. He felt like a total loser and a sucker. It was his St. Valentine's Day Massucker.
(from "tomorrow" and "moron")

1) a task given to an employee by his/her superior by the end of the day (usually 5 minutes before the end of work) with a demand to get it done for the morning next day which makes the unlucky employee stay at work extra hours (rarely paid for) like a moron, because everyone else can go and enjoy the evening and he/she is the one caught to do the dirty work;

2) a person caught by his/her superior 5 minutes before the end of the day at work to do something very important for the next day morning so he/she needs to stay longer to complete the task;
1) I had to stay at work till 8pm to finish the tomoron my boss gave me. It was a report he needed for the board the next day morning.

2) I was about the leave the office when Mrs. Jenkins, my boss, caught me and asked me to do her a small favour. The favour was a report for the last 10 years. It was something she forgot to do and needed asap. I could not say no, of course, and had to sit there for 3 hours to finish it. I felt like a tomoron.
