Advanced sex position, requiring one partner to be very large and strong, and the other very small and light (see portable). One partner lifts the other and holds him/her upside down while the two perform a 69 on each other. Usually seen in porn videos, but not recommended for the average couple.

The interval of time immediately before a project is due, when it becomes apparent that the schedule has slipped and everyone is going to have to work like dogs to try to complete the project in time. Crunch time usually occurs during the period between the next-to-last scheduled milestone (prior to which everyone was able to delude themselves tht the schedule had NOT slipped) and the final deadline for delivery. During crunch time, workers are in crunch mode. Prevalent in the software industry, but used elsewhere as well.
"We've got three weeks left to complete six weeks worth of work. Looks like we'll be living on take-out for a while."
"I freakin' hate crunch time."
"I freakin' hate crunch time."

Uninformed. Ignorant of the situation. Not receiving appropriate information. Think of "the loop" as being a communications channel, and therefore being out of the loop means no one is communicating with you to get you the information you need.
Manager: Why did you miss today's staff meeting?
Employee: I didn't know there was one scheduled. I was completely out of the loop.
Employee: I didn't know there was one scheduled. I was completely out of the loop.

The way one works during crunch time. In an effort to make up for schedule slippage and meet a deadline, workers are required to make sacrifices including (but not limited to) sleep, nutrition, social life, hygiene, and product quality.
The whole team is in crunch mode, so we've got the sleeping bags in the office and we're sending out for more pizza.

To waste time. A cute way of saying "fart around." Combination of "circum-" meaning "around" as in "circumnavigate" and "flatulate," to fart. Usually good for a chuckle the first time someone hears it. Akin to circumfornicate, but less harsh and easier to explain in polite company.

A person who has far too many issues. One who is overloaded with angst. Derived from the fact that a magazine stand (in the non-slang sense) is a place where one can find many issues (also in the non-slang sense) of various periodicals.
