An ad or notice printed with phone numbers written vertically at the bottom on tearable tags and tacked up on noticeboards, shop windows, etc.
Named for the phone number strips' resemblance to a jellyfish's tentacles, and because the pages appear to be floating on the wall/noticeboard/window like jellyfish in the ocean.
Also known as space invaders, especially when there get to be too many of these notices in one place.

That fever you get in spring when all the men who've been working out over the winter put away their coats and start wearing summer clothes.

The perverse relationship that develops between an iProduct and its new owner. The new iOwner will usually only talk about the new iProduct and like new parents talking about their baby, everything in the conversation will lead back to the iProduct.
It is best not to interfere in iRelationships, the couple can be like Gollum and the Ring!

A book one carries around to write down phone numbers, emails, etc.
Carried around when a person is living in denial of digital and they're not on Facebook, don't have an iphone, etc.

Joan: Dylan isn't on facebook, so when he said he wanted to stay in touch I wrote my number in his face-to-facebook.
Edie: You mean a paper book? How cute!
Jack: We couldn't google map it since none of us had iphones, so I had to draw the directions in Will's face-to-facebook.

Used to describe the groups of middle-aged women who run the administration in most institutions and corporations.
Origin: Admin + menopause. Administration/bureaucracy is thought to have been invented during the middle ages by crusaders and explorers to ensure their wives' fidelity while they were gone, by keeping them busy with useless paperwork, e.g. "I'm going to rescue the Holy Land darling, by the time I get back I want you to alphabetize this list of the serfs and cross reference it against a list of our debtors, graphed against the last ten years' harvests, etc. etc."
These tasks would keep the wives so busy they had no time for lovers. By the time the men came home, the women were so engrossed in the admin they kept doing it and passed it on to the next generation, believing this made up work to be of vital importance, an attitude which persists to this day.

The adminopause have called another useless meeting.
The adminopause have got me so busy filling out forms I can't get anything done today.
Unemployment is down thanks to the growing adminopause sector.
