bore-athon 

Staff meetings are supposed to last one hour and stick to an agenda, but the manager lets certain people go off on tangents, and we end up stuck there for an hour and a half. That's why we call them "bore-athons."

flogisphere 

The part of the bloggosphere dedicated to flogging anyone or anything.
If that story gets into the flogisphere, we'd better dump all our company stock.

buyosphere 

The complete collection of places online where you can buy stuff.
Why haul yourself downtown and deal with the parking hassles? It's much easier to shop in the buyosphere!

charm-free zone 

Any place -- town, neighborhood, company, department, or corner occupied by a few people -- which is boring, unpleasant, or both.
That neighborhood is safe, but it's a charm-free zone.

Nobody on the fourth floor of that dorm has any sense of humor; it's a charm-free zone.

When you get to the party, stay away from the corner nearest the fire place; it's a charm-free zone.
