A phrase used in Britain to denote the belief by certain mouthy activist groups that British society as a whole discriminates against minorities. These groups can represent ethnic, religious or other minorities, or they could just be professional bleeding hearts, but they all promote the same bullshit; namely that an action taken by society against a member of a minority group will automatically infringe their human rights. This has led to the ridiculous situation where members of a minority groups get away with acts that would see a member of the largely silent majority jailed. This is due to greedy lawyers and waste of space organisations who mindlessly support these people, often at huge cost to the British taxpayer.
Unfortunately minority pressure groups like Liberty, professional bleeding hearts and all the other wasters who are BVA have pressured politicians into the belief that this is a vote winner. In fact, if politicians merely gave the matter a few minutes thought (there's an oxymoron politician and thought) they would realise that they are placing the needs of a minority above those of the majority. Effectively they have been brainwashed into a Minority Mentality.

Certain pressure groups are demanding that Shamima Begum, a member of Islamic State who has had her British citizenship revoked, should have it reinstated and should be allowed to return to Britain. A really unpleasant example of the Minority Mentality at work.

Workplace cyber-aggression takes place through emails or text messages which are intended to threaten or intimidate. They may also be emails or texts which have offensive content such as sexist or racist material or expressions of religious hatred or homophobia. What is different about this form of aggression, compared to more traditional forms, is that it is not limited to work colleagues but can come from people outside the organisation, or even in the form of spam.
The phenomenon of cyber aggression seems to have originated with teenagers who have grown up with the internet and electronic communication. They have brought this familiarity with them into the workplace and do not appreciate that this workplace cyber-aggression is just as hurtful as any other sort of aggression.
Workplace cyber-aggression is often the result of individuals within the workplace being offended, upset or feeling threatened by problems within the workplace and who resort to this form of virtual communication as a means of retaliation. This action, directed at a person or persons within the organisation, is frequently referred to as flaming. Along with workplace bullying and workplace aggression, workplace cyber aggression can be a symptom of a toxic workplace.

British slang for obtaining goods and services without having to pay for them. The word can be used in two rather different ways:
1 If it is for personal advantage then the word has certain negative implications, that the person doing the
scrounging is not wholly trustworthy;
2 If it is to further a project at work or to obtain goods, materials or money for a charity then there can be a certain
amount of admiration.

1 “I see Jan’s mumping drinks again.”
“What a scrounging old fart she is.”
2 “How did you get the job finished so quickly?
“Johnny went out scrounging and brought back some brand new 2 x 1 someone had dumped in a skip.”

This was originally an acronym used by medical staff standing for Totally Fucked But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet. It can be used to describe a number of different types of patient:
1. Those patients who have a long-term medical condition which requires the expenditure of a great deal of time, effort and resources.
2. Those patients who are quite literally dying or in a Persistent Vegetative State or PSV.
3. Those patients who, although they may have a serious medical condition, are a total pain in the ass
Believed to have started in America, the use of this acronym has become widespread.

If you think you fart a lot, guess again, you probably don't fart as much as you think you do. Often, people go to their doctor complaining of having too much gas, but chances are, they are just imagining it. These people are usually told to go home and keep a record of when they fart. Gastroenterologist Dr Michael Levitt found that most of these people fall within the normal range of farts per day (see fart fact 5) and merely need to be shown that they are normal.
