Tasksplosion 

The unexpected and natural process whereby a simple, single task requires you to complete a whole set of tasks, some of them unrelated to the one at hand.

Sometimes stupid things lead to a tasksplosion. I realized we were out of garbage bags, so I went to the basement to get some. There weren't any, so I have to go to the grocery store. But to do that, I'll have to 1) Gas up the car, 2) Go to the ATM and get money so I can pay for the gas, 3) Go to the grocery store and buy the bags and finally go home. But the garbage can is really filthy so I have to clean it first. Oops we're out of cleaning products and paper towels... another tasksplosion!

Thanksplosion 

The habit of everyone in a business meeting or teleconference to thank each other individually at the end of the call/meeting. The size of the thanksplosion usually ranges from the number of meeting participants to approximately half of the number of meeting participants, squared. For example, a 6-person meeting will usually end with 6-18 "thanks guys" or "thank you"'s.

At the end of my conference call with 7 sales reps, I braced myself for the thanksplosion which was sure to have us all parroting the phrase "thanks guys" for a solid 4 minutes.
