Manna for the mindless is a disparaging description of television programmes that do no more than fill up air time. The programmes that are banal, trivial and boring and which, if they were a person, would be described as a WOFS. You know the sort of crap, pretty well all of daytime television, soap operas screened at any time, moronic game shows, chat shows featuring liggers or z-list celebrities, the list just goes on. It is the sort of programme which doesn’t require dumbing down as it is targeted at fuckwits or insomniacs who need something other than drugs to help them sleep.
Before twenty-four seven television was inflicted on a long-suffering human race, manna for the mindless was typified by film serials where the hero always overcame impossible odds to rescue the heroine from an impossible situation and the villain was always defeated. Either that or the Hollywood musical of the 1950s such as Carousel or South Pacific, total shite consisting of totally forgettable songs, stilted dialogue and a non-existent plot.

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.

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.”

This is an acronym standing for Police Your Turds. You know the situation, some scumbucket of a co-worker has just used the crapper and you, with a bad case of green apple splatters, have no choice but to use it after them. There, in the toilet bowl, is lurking a truly vile, obnoxious and disgusting turd left there by the previous user who did not check to ensure that everything had been flushed away. Similar to Police Your Brass, a sign saying PYT – Police Your Turds should be on the back of every communal WC so that anti-social, brain-dead fuckwits have no excuse.
“That cunt Malcolm left a toilet bowl full of turds, I told the fat fuck PYT but he just looked at me blankly.”
“That shitbag should have a huge cork hammered up his fat arse be taken to a desert and force fed laxatives until he explodes. The fertilisation of the area would be the first useful thing he’s ever done!”

Invariably is an adverb which means each time or upon every occasion. If you see a particular person that you loathe and despise coming towards you and you always get that sinking feeling in your stomach, then that is invariably what happens. You know that every time you see them they’ll have that shit-eating grin on their face that each time you see it makes you feel sick, then that is invariably what happens as well. You know too, because it happens every time that, without even saying “Hello”, they’ll start dishing the dirt on somebody because that is what invariably happens. I thought a few examples might help to clarify things, but I’m not invariably right.

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.
