Parelevant

Of marginal relevance -- not really relevant, but close enough to maybe be interesting anyway. (From "para" (beside, subsidiary to) + relevant (probative).)

Phil, your job performance this year sucked, although the fact that you always made a fresh pot of decaf when it was almost out is parelevant and gets you some team-play points.

Universal donor

In the proofreading business, a document that is full of typographical errors, aka, “typos.” The expression is a play on the concept of the so-called universal blood donor: type O being the blood type that can be donated and transfused to anyone regardless of their blood type, a “universal donor” document is … chock full of Type Os.

Chad, take this universal donor back to your desk and fix all the typos and misspellings, jeez.

man-aging partner

A shrewish, nagging spouse who thereby takes at least two years off of one's life for each year of marriage.

"Sorry, guys, I can't make the game -- the man-aging partner has me on garage cleanout duty, eff me."

BlackBerry sushi

The article produced when one inserts one's water-soaked BlackBerry into a box of white rice, desperately trying to resuscitate it by having the rice draw out the moisture.

"Dude, sorry I didn't text you -- I've got BlackBerry sushi here thanks to my wife washing my trou without checking the pockets."

Coexpensive

Costing the same

"Hey, from here, a trip to Paris is roughly coexpensive with going to Hawaii -- let's go to France."

Or: "Outsourcing payroll is going to be coexpensive with keeping it in house, so I could go either way on it."

It's obviously a play on "coextensive."

lotion chimp

A particularly low-order minion -- qualified to perfrom only the most mindless tasks, on the order of a trained chimpanzee smearing suntan lotion on its reclining master.

I had a morning meeting, so I had my lotion chimp come over and let the electrician in.

Fecocephaly

Shitheadedness; having shit for brains. From feco- (feces) + -cephaly (pertaining to the head).

Professor Hull's thesis is not merely obviously wrong, but reaches new heights of fecocephaly. Kudos to the tenure system for providing him the continued opportunity for such ascents.
