Waddamite
A person who exemplifies the finer qualities of Milton Waddams from Office Space, including distracted thinking, disheveled appearance, complete lack of self confidence, inappropriate mumbling or talking to oneself, and an obsessive compulsion to only focus on one item (such as a red stapler or an outgoing wire process) regardless of what else is going on around him/her. Given a small amount of power or control, this person tends to go completely Napoleonic, and is typically just dumb enough to be dangerous.
This new guy Paul is a complete Waddamite. First he shows up wearing a tie that ends four inches above the belt; then he begins really distracting cavitations in his chair, all while mumbling to himself and awkwardly typing on his laptop as we’re trying to explain a very simple process that he completely misunderstands no matter how simple we make it. I can’t believe that anyone would put this guy in charge of a hamburger, never mind an examination.

Dump and Dive
When your boss decides to manage up by taking on more responsibility than the department has a reasonable expectation of completing, and then dumps the work on his/her subordinates which is followed by an expeditious dive into his/her office to avoid the pending fallout.
Can you believe Jeff’s latest dump and dive? There’s no way we’re going to be able to get all that done without installing a shower and some Murphy beds in the office.

I can't believe Boy Wonder followed me into the restroom to talk about his life-long dreams of a beach house, ferrari, cage diving with great whites, visiting the oval office, meeting a president and swimming with a killer whale at Sea World; what a batorator.

Faulknerize
The process of going from a calm state of being to an out of control lunatic via a carefully tread 6-step process that moves from calm to agitated into masked anger, then irritability on to retaliatory, followed by irrational and concluding with explosive
Did you see Claire Faulknerize Sam earlier today? They could hear her three floors down. Man Claire moved through the six steps like a border collie in a weave pole contest.
