Internal employee: "Overpaid fool. That's just a Lodgism for Buy a new PC and it will make things better."
or
Manager: I've been stir-frying some ideas in my think-wok.
Employee: (with heavy irony) And have you come up with any new Lodgisms then?

Longism 

A task, activity or event undertaken by an individual that should take a short amount of time to complete but ends up getting sidetracked & takes hours or even days to complete.

I was supposed to be picked up at 1pm its now 4pm.
3 phone calls later & he's only just left the house. What a longism!

Rallying da club-members of Possum Lake towards a common goal.

As lazy, selfish, and unstructured as Red Green's macho buddies are, da lodgistics of any sizeable project would likely be a nightmare!
