career limiting

A polite way of saying that an event or action may:

a) Cause an employee to experience a wealth of bad internal or external PR that could limit future promotion opportunities.

b) Cause the employee to get fired.

This definition can also be used playfully amongst colleagues suggest how unfavourable a certain option may be or the relevant risk involved.
"I'll back up that computer before I run that update on Jim's computer, accidentally breaking the CEOs computer could be *potentially* career limiting."

"I agree, stalking that cute girl from HR might possibly be career limiting."

harang

Misspelling (sometimes intentional out of ease) of harangue, which is a tirade or rant, whether spoken or written.

In this usage it is usually playful and friendly banter suggesting the other person forcefully remind them later of their failings.

If used in reference to other people (particularly a work superior) it usually delicately and formally suggests the other person was being irritable/annoying in a way that is not career limiting.
"I have a meeting to go to, harang me about that letter later."

"Colleague1: Simon was haranging me over that corporate newsletter.
Colleague2: Ignore it, he was just mad it didn't have his name in it."

check it in

Computing: When you commit some computer programming code to a code repository. Technically incorrect and a confusion of the 2 computer SVN (SubVersioN) expressions "check out" (which makes a local copy of the code for modification) and "commit" (which places code and code changes in the repository making that and all previous versions available to other users)
Guy #1: My code is so awesome; the customer will want to have my babies.
Guy #2: Can't see that happening, but make sure you check it in anyway.
Guy #1: Code checked in. The turtle is happy.
Guy #2: Your code isn't the only thing that needs committing.
