Universal donor

In the proofreading business, a document that is full of typographical errors, aka, “typos.” The expression is a play on the concept of the so-called universal blood donor: type O being the blood type that can be donated and transfused to anyone regardless of their blood type, a “universal donor” document is … full of Type Os.

Chad, take this universal donor back to your desk and fix all the !@#$% misspellings and punctuation errors, jeez.

BlackBerry sushi

The article produced when one inserts one's water-soaked BlackBerry into a box of white rice, desperately trying to resuscitate it by having the rice draw out the moisture.

"Dude, sorry I didn't text you -- I've got BlackBerry sushi here thanks to my wife washing my trou without checking the pockets."

Coexpensive

Costing the same

"Hey, from here, a trip to Paris is roughly coexpensive with going to Hawaii -- let's go to France."

Or: "Outsourcing payroll is going to be coexpensive with keeping it in house, so I could go either way on it."

It's obviously a play on "coextensive."

Polarious

Adjective describing hyperbolic political speech that is so over-the-top polarizing as to be laughable, indeed hilarious.

Eric: Do you remember when Hillary Clinton called Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables"?
Tim: Yeah, or when Trump called Rand Paul "a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain"?
Eric and Tim: Yeah, polarious!

Parelevant

Of marginal relevance -- not really relevant, but close enough to maybe be interesting anyway. (From "para" (beside, subsidiary to) + relevant (probative).)

Phil, your job performance this year sucked, although the fact that you always made a fresh pot of decaf when it was almost out is parelevant and gets you some team-play points.
