Gowk (pronounced ɡaʊk) is a noun with a number of meanings. It is sometimes used to mean a cuckoo or an awkward, clumsy or stupid person. Apparently the word goes back to ancient German and could mean a bastard, simpleton, or fool, which gives its commonest usage namely an awkward or foolish person. There is also a third totally distinct meaning; in Geordie dialect it means an apple core.

This is where a bloke has sex with a woman who is, quite literally old enough to be his granny. There is no love or even liking involved, it is usually done or a bet, to score points off someone, or for some other reason. If the woman is wealthy or a celebrity, he is known as a toy boy and she is known as a cougar. If a woman indulges in a graveyard fuck, it’s invariably with a man who is rich and powerful and she expects marriage to result. In both these cases it’s usually just for the money so I suppose really they’re just whores and it’s not really a graveyard fuck.
Look at that old bat, she’s all over Danny like a rash!
That’s what happens when you get pissed and have a graveyard fuck.

Workplace deviance is a deliberate or intentional desire to cause harm to an organisation. This can be the organisation which employs an individual or an organisation of which they are a member. It is, perhaps, best described as “voluntary behaviour which contravenes the established norms of the organisation and, in doing so, compromises its viability.”
Workplace deviance can vary greatly, from minor non-violent misbehaviour to extreme violence, up to and including murder, but any of which causes harm or potential harm to the organisation. Broadly speaking workplace deviance falls into two distinct categories, Interpersonal Deviance and Organisational Deviance.
Interpersonal deviance is misconduct which targets specific co-workers and includes behaviours such as gossiping about them, blaming them for things that are not their fault, falsely raising grievances against them and so on. It is believed that these unhealthy behaviours may be due to jealousy of the target co-workers abilities or a sense of entitlement. In other words the misbehaviour has one aim, to benefit the person doing it.
Organisation deviance is behaviour aimed at the organisation itself and most frequently manifests itself as frequent lateness or excessive absenteeism.
