Although other creatures, including humans, do this, cats give the best demonstration of this phenomenon. When you see a cat stretch itself to its full length, all four limbs and tail extended, accompanied by a huge yawn, that is pandiculating.

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.

Get the Prejudicialmug. This is where some nasty little heale of a spite monkey usually a teenager or pre-teen has an idea for a definition for Urban Dictionary. They look it up and find your definition of ‘their’ word already in place and approved by a lot of people. True to the spite monkey mentality they immediately hit the thumbs down symbol, they then contact any like-minded losers they call friends and get them to do the same thing. They don’t bother trying to get their own definition accepted but boast about how they beat the fuck out of yours. It’s possible to hope that one day they will actually grow up, but unfortunately so many of them will remain nothing more than disagreeable little snot splatters for their entire lives.
“My latest definition on Urban Dictionary has picked up loads of dislikes, I don’t understand why.”
“It’s the spite monkey’s revenge, mate. Some little turd reckons you nicked their definition and this is a way of getting back at you.”

Get the Spite Monkey’s Revengemug. It’s pronounced ‘brassic’ and it’s slang for being penniless. Like so many other widespread expressions, it derives from the Cockney rhyming slang 'boracic lint' which rhymes with skint signifying that the person has no money. Incidentally, boracic lint was used as a dressing in the treatment of ulcerated skin.
“Chas, can you lend me a ton? Angie wants to go out tonight an’ me cashpoint card’s knackered.”
“Sorry mate, I'm boracic.”

So if someone tells you they don't fart, they're probably lying and are specialists in SBDs and are just trying to avoid being blamed for that nasty smell that made everyone’s eyes water.
“I just told Malcolm that he is well above average, but I don’t think he realised I was referring to fart fact 5.”
