corporate greed

Wasteful spending and hoarding by selfish decision-makers in large businesses:

Huge salaries, golden handshakes, bad investments, long vacations, perks, tax evasion, and embezzling.
Due to corporate greed America is going to Hell in a handbasket!!!

Penny for the Guy?

British phrase that kids ask their neighbors-similar to USA's
"Trick or Treat"-because they need money for the Guy Fawkes dummy that they are making for the parade and bonfire.
(knock knock on door) " 'ello then and what ye need?"

" Penny for the Guy?"

" The' ye ar' "

"Thanks mista' "

Forget about it

New York term for:"No comment" or "I would rather not say".
Usually sounds like "Forgedaboudit" and spoken slightly loud to put an end to the subject.
Vinnie: So Guido, how much money did you make at the race track yesterday?
Guido: Forget about it!

pangram

A proper sentence of minimal length using all the letters of the alphabet. A sentence with only 26 letters is a perfect pangram.
I finally thought of a cool pangram:

Ben, if I quit, my fuzzy ox Garth develops lockjaw!

suckup

A complete ass-kissing brown-nose willing to do almost anything to benefit from his superior.
Those middle-management suckups are at it again trying to get my job by kissing the boss's ass!!!

She's such a suckup...her nose is brown!

She broke all the rules and didn't get in trouble from the boss--what a suckup!!

That suckup is such a teacher's pet doing extras for bonus points--oooooh i'm so impressed!

Pull a boner

Old term for making a mistake.

Ususally phrased "pulled a boner".

Why the word bone or boner means mistake, I have no idea:

Perhaps from accidentally hitting your funny bone, acting like a bonehead; or a grave robber pulling out a bone instead of jewels from a grave...just guessing!

Nowadays if you tell someone you "pulled a boner" they might think you are gay if you are a man or horny if you are a woman!
They really pulled a boner when they hired that bozo to run the steam roller: he flattened a BMW!

I thought that black guy on the phone was white--pulled a boner on that one!

Don't pull a boner this time you dope!
