Bipolar Bear 

A deeply disturbed bear living either at the South or North Pole. These moody creatures can be upbeat at times when they can be witnessed happily catching fish or conversely they can be sullen and withdrawn burying their head in the snow. This serious condition can be treated by various medication such as Bear-zac or Bear-nax with promising results.
Penguin 1 - Yo Fred, what is up with the bear? He looks like he is contemplating jumping off of that towering glacier. Surely he would not survive the fall.

Pengui 2 - That is Billy, the Bipolar Bear. He is up there every other day. He must not have taked his Bear-zac today.

Office Vigilante 

Cubicle dweller or office employee who seeks justice and revenge against the evil forces residing within the work environment.
Inspired by watching Charles Bronson in DeathWish, I intend to be an Office Vigilante so I can right all of the wrongs that occur within our office. I got my sock full of quarters and am ready to unleash on some fools!

Cubicle Justice 

A Charles Bronson like office vigilante that seeks to get even with a colleague in the office for slighting them.
Worker 1 - I can't believe he knocked stuff over at my cube, then got pissed about it and slammed stuff down. And then he just walks off without putting the stuff back.

Worker 2 - Dude, that is a jackass move. What are you going to do?

Worker 1 - Well, there will be a fair amount of cubicle justice, I can tell you that. I may take all of the screws out of his chair, tape raw fish up under his desk or perhaps stink palm his mouse.

Worker 2 - Hells Yaw, that would be hilarious yo!

Phlegm Brulee

The horrible brown colored mucus that is discharged from an individual when they are ill or getting over an illness.
Friend 1 - How you feeling today buddy?

Friend 2 - Getting a little better...my body is cooking up some phlegm brulee right now so I am getting that shizz out of my system.

Flumonia 

The synergistic "Super-bug" that is spawned when an individual becomes infected with the influenza and pnemonia at the same time. This is more sinister than the dreaded bird and/or swine flu...and is more on-par with the fabled SuperFlu from the movie "The Stand".
Monday
Patient - Yo, I don't feel so good doc.
Doctor - Well I declare...you must have a case of the flu.

Thursday
Patient - Yo, I feel worse now doc.
Doctor - For Pete's sake, it appears you now have pnemonia.
Patient - Does that mean I have Flumonia?

Cloudy with a slight chance of stupid 

A forecast of bad decisions revolving around cloud technologies by naïve Information Technology Management.

You will often hear these “Cloud Geeks” spouting off about all of the latest cloud information from the latest CIO Magazine, which usually includes buzz words like Cloudtopia and Cloudmosphere.
Engineer 1 - Did you hear that the CIO wants to put everything in the cloud?

Engineer 2 - Yaw, he has been saying that for the last year....what a cloud geek!

Engineer 1 - If he gets his way, this could be disasterous. Do you think he is really going to go through with it?

Engineer 2 - I predict that it is going to be Cloudy with a slight chance of Stupid!

Put it in the cloud 

A generic and naive response to a technology problem which effectively takes the problem out of the realm of an organization's responsibility. This basically equates to outsourcing technology solutions which end up being inferior service for twice the cost.
Engineer - "We need $10,000 and another full time employee to re-engineer and manage this technology"
CIO - "We should just put it in the cloud"
Engineer - "What cloud?"
CIO - Looks around nervously..."The one there..." as he points to a picture of a cloud on the cover of his new CIO magazine.
Engineer - Returns to his cube where he promptly hangs himself with an ethernet cable.
