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!

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.

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.

skycrapper

a very tall building or any other structure or object that makes it impossible to see the sky as if it crapped the sky with its enormous size;
Jerry: How's the apartment?
Will: I didn't like it. It was big, but all the windows faced a huge building that stood so close that you could not see the sky. I had to open the window and look outside to actually see that there was something more than just this building.
Jerry: A skycrapper.
Will: You bet it was!

manufuckturer

a manufacturer of low-quality products (manufactured in large quantities) that break down easily and/or after a short period of time
ABC-XYZ is a typical manufuckturer - they produce hundreds of thousands of these watches but never give a damn about the quality so you might say that for all of these watches their time comes quite fast.

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!

no-comments-but-crisis policy

a policy and a way of dealing with one's company that has been widely in use since the media/banks/governments reported a financial crisis; it is a justification for various actions: staff reductions, cancelled payrise, lowered wages though none of these are necessary (because the company is doing well and needs no changes); it is a perfect explanation for everything if your general manager plans to fire some employees/cut wages and needs a good reason;
George: Crap, we're going to have staff reductions!
Will: What?
George: Yup, there were rumors, so we asked our boss about it, and despite good results of our company, half of us is going to be fired. We asked why and we heard that it was due to the financial crisis. End of story. Another example of no-comments-but-crisis policy.
