Total Delegation Meltdown 

A disastrous event produced when the manager delegates every possible aspect of the planning to others who have real jobs and don't actually complete anything on schedule.
David go to Dublin this week? Who wouldn't want to go to Dublin?

delegate dance 

A place where young adolescents with oversized libidos release tremendous sexual tension that has been accumulating for several days while participating in a stressful Model United Nations conference (Such as U of Penn MUN or UC Berkley MUN). The most insane and grimy party you've ever been to. Expect it to be packed with sweaty teens of all nationalities. Managing to maneuver through the dance floor is quite a challenge, you will likely get shoved and pushed as if you were in one massive mosh pit. Nationalities will often remain in packs on the dance floor, be cautious of "straight off the boat" foreigners as they are often hideous. Your clothes will undoubtedly be drenched with sweat by the end of the 4 hour affair beginning at 9 PM and ending at 12 PM. HORNY TEENS fear not, there will be plenty of MUN POON circulating through out the dance. Girls are often extremely attractive while the guys tend to be huge nerds. Delegates can expect anything from handjobs to hook ups on the dance floor. The Delegate Dance is similar to a huge orgy of teens. If one does not receive MUN POON at the dance, he has failed at life. See also: MUN POON
Jordan: Dude what was your body count at the Delegate Dance last night?
Daniel: Bro, I got so much MUN POON. I hooked up with 9 fine ass girls. Some girl gave me brain right on the dance floor. GOML dawg.
Jordan: Dayum. I got attacked by a bunch of chicks from China.
Daniel: Gross

Delegation Duel 

When 2 people of similar ranks and/or tenure are working together closely on the same projects and they each keep managing to delegate tasks back and forth more than once each.
Eric walks into Bill's office and states "Bill, I need you to work up a proposal for the Cincinnati project." Bill says, "OK, can you review this report and print it in color?" As Eric lays 2 folders on Bill's desk, he says, "Sure. And by the way, here is the information you need to finish the Oklahoma project." Bill says, "thank you." and as Eric is leaving Bill's office, Bill zips Eric an email requesting Eric to fill-in for him at this week's seminar. Thus, a delegation duel.
