Something edited or taken out... Part of the original work that's gone missing in the finished product.
In the days before we had uber-cool computers, film and music had to be edited "by hand"... This involved taking actual recorded tape or developed film, cutting it to remove or insert the bit in question, and then splicing the tape or film for use. The bits cut out would end up, at least temporarily, on the cutting room floor.

Bob and Marsha were going to tell each other thier secrets before they got married... But somehow her affair with Tony ended up on the cutting room floor.

Also "rufies", or "the date-rape drug"...
These are all street names for the benzodiazepine (ben-zo-die-AZ-ah-peen) drug flunitrazepam (flue-nih-TRAHS-ih-pam), taken from the brand-name Rohypnol...
"Administered" in this capacity, the drug has an incapacitating effect similar to but stronger, more fast acting, and more durable than alcohol... Thus allowing the attacker to make whatever use of the victim's body they wish.

The sick little fuck slipped her some roofies... it's the only way he could ever hope to score with a woman, short of necrophelia.

To send a signal or make brief contact.
Recently from computer networking, where one computer (usually a client) will send a quick, pointless query to another computer (usually a server) in order to find out if it is still online and see how long the response takes.
Originally from the naval warfare practice of "active sonar" where one ship (usually a surface ship) will send out a given sound or "ping" in order to measure the direction and delay in the "echo" of that sound off of another body (usually a submarine.

Can we go to the movie tomorrow?
I don't know... Ping me around eight and we'll see how things are going.

The Republican policy in US politics of taking from the poor to give to the rich.. The heart and soul of just about any Republican tax cut, initiative, or fiscal policy program.
See... We'll cut medicare, medicaid, food stamps, student loans, pell grants, welfare, social security, and grants for the arts... And we'll apply those savings to a tax break for the wealthiest 1/2% of Americans... Ta-da! Reverse Robin Hood!

A Guinea Pig... A vile little creature that resembles nothing so much as a rat, if that rat were designed by GM and built by AMC.
Mom: So... Would you like to get a pet?
Kid: Sure. Anything but a fat rat.
A: What -is- that smell?
B: Oh, that's my brother's fat-rats. He changes their litter about as often as he showers.

A Proxy is the authority to represent another person or entity... Especially in the capacity of voting issues, such as on a board of directors.
This authority can be granted willingly, (as in the case of someone who cannot attend a meeting sending another to vote in her place) or unwillingly (such as in the case of a parent's authority over the affairs of a child. It can be granted with or without limitation ("Go to the meeting and vote yes on the takeover, for all my shares." or "The Executor is granted any and all reasonable powers necesary to manage and maintain the estate of Jonh, while he is in his coma.")
A parent, for instance, holds an automatic right of proxy in certain interests of her child. The child need not and cannot make decisions not granted her by her parent, because the parent has the legal authority to make those decisions for the child.
When something is done or decided by proxy, it means the actual effort of action, and sometimes the decision, was made by someone else.

Jennifer will hold my proxy for all voting issues that arise during the course of this series of meetings... Because I'm going to Aruba!

A qualifying phrase intended to illustrate that someone has done a great deal in a short time... i.e: between the hours of 9 and 12, the shorter "half" of the workday.
Used sarcastically, sort of a "that's it?" illustrator.

I've researched the Abraham case on WestLaw and Lexis, ordered new office software for the front desk, sat three new client consultations, run to the courthouse and filed our motions, and had my oil changed on the way back, all before lunch.
Sarcastically: Hey, I called the office supplies place and ordered the pens you asked for. "Wow... All that before lunch?"
