Jerkonian 

Today's version of Draconian. Creating processes, particularly at work, that are excessively harsh or severe. You know, something a jerk would do.
Our new head of marketing relaxed many of the Jerkonian rules his predecessor had in place relating to how much time we spend on parts of the business.

Resolutionary War 

When you go to the gym in January and you have to battle for equipment because of all the people who made New Year's resolutions to get in shape.
I was almost killed in the Resolutionary War while fighting to get on a treadmill. I can't wait for February when things will be back to normal.

glamour hippy

Person, typically a woman, who's in to yoga, organic foods, alternative folk music, liberal causes and is probably a vegetarian, but also loves expensive jewelry, wines (typically red), expensive clothes, lots of traveling (in nice hotels).
Sally's a vegetarian and only eats organic foods, so after her yoga class she shops at Whole Foods, and she cares about keeping a small carbon footprint, so she drives there in her Tesla. Of course, while she's there, she sees a great California cabernet for only $69, and buys six.

Yeah, she's a hippy: a glamour hippy.

Cartholic 

Someone who only believes in god when car keys are missing, car won't start, police lights are in the rear view mirror, car is getting annual inspection, there's traffic when he's late.
Sally: John's an atheist right?

Ted: No, he's a Cartholic. I was at his house and he couldn't find his keys. He was like, 'Dear god, please help me find my keys. If I find them I'll go to church this Sunday.'

Sally: Oh, what a douche.

cloudified 

Rebuilding an existing technology to perform better in the Cloud. Typically, this includes making the technology 'elastic' so that users pay only for what they use--like electricity.

Bikram Labor 

(1) The modern, 'politically correct' way to refer to a sweatshop.
(2) A term that allows celebrity pitch folks to feel as though workers can get a great 'workout' while they're working.
Hey, I heard the Kardashians are gonna get busted for using sweatshop labor.

That's Bikram labor bro. Perfectly acceptable in this day and age!
