Kweefing
The releasing of gas (a fart) from the penis or vagina. WARNING – This may indicate a potentially life threatening medical condition. The person suffering from this may have a fistula, you can read up on this on the internet, but this case it means that there is a hole or an unnatural connection between the urethra and rectum. They must get treatment for this, so convince them to see a doctor. If there is any faecal discharge go to A & E or the Emergency Room at the nearest hospital immediately do not put this off as your life may be in danger.

Status Symbol Land
A mildly mocking synonym for the United States. It originated in the song “Another Pleasant Valley Sunday” written, in 1967, by American song writing duo Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The song, recorded by American group the Monkees, highlights an obsession that Goffin and King thought was common to many Americans namely to increase their status. To have a bigger house, a better car, more televisions, more of everything than anyone else to show how “important” they are. They don’t actually need all this stuff, they just want them as status symbols.
Now before anyone gets pissed off and rejects this definition, think about it; the phenomenon may be more widespread and common than people think, why do so many people try to get a definition on Urban Dictionary? Is it to include a new definition, or a variant of an existing definition to increase the useful content of Urban Dictionary, or is it to give them something to boast about to their friends, a status symbol?
Incidentally, if you think Goffin and King were being too general about Americans and status symbols consider the group that recorded the song, the Monkees. They were manufactured by the American music industry in an attempt to rival the Beatles, so were the Monkees musicians or an attempt at a status symbol?

Workplace Deviance
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.

YFIYFI
Sometimes written as YFIx2 it is an acronym standing for “You Fucked It You Fix It” meaning it’s your mistake so you sort it out. Believed to have originated with the Royal Navy, it is used in the same way as SOYOS or SYSO.
“Malcolm came to me moaning that he’d jammed the photocopier.”
“What did you do?”
“Nothing, I just told him YFIYFI.”
