corpocrap

all the things (from e-mails, newsletters to speeches) corporate authorities, especially CEOs, are telling or sending to their employees - very general information, full of cheap marketing and really poor PR slogans, often describing bad things (e.g.closing of the factory in one city/country and moving it another where the cost are low) with nice words (development and cost-saving initiative)

Paul: I heard our CEO had a speech yesterday.
Charlie: Yeah, usual corpocrap.
Paul: Right... we are loosing our jobs and he's telling us about what the company will get when it moves to China.

descheiss

a design that is considered cool only because someone famous with the supposed authority called it "cool" and used it, but is in fact crappy, cheap, totally not cool, something that you will not use even for all the money in the world (comes from the word "design" and "scheisse" - a German word for "crap" or "shit");

Joe: Have you seen Jody's new aparment?
Phil: No. How does it look like?
Joe: If you ask me, it's a totall descheiss - I wonder where the hell were her eyes and brain when she was hiring that crazy designer and she was choosing this particular design, recommended by some spoilt celebrity with no taste.
Phil: Wow, it must be really crappy!

translave

to translate e.g. documents in large numbers for someone who clearly overuses his/her authority and position in the company by giving you things he/she could translate by himself/herself

Anita: Busy? What are you doing?
Tony: I've just learnt that my job is also to translate or I should say: translave. So I'm translaving this moron's presentation. It is so basic that he could do it by himself, but of course - he has his people to do it. I hate the fact that I can speak Spanish.

favor-friend

a person who gives you a call or comes to you only when he/she needs a favor and uses the fact that you have a good heart - if he/she doesn't need anything from you, there will be no "how are you?" question or anything, but still this person will pretend that he/she is your great friend;

Bruno: I'm disappointed with my friendship with Alice. I used to believe we were friends, but now I see she's only a favor-friend. It is I who usually starts conversation, who calls, send Christmas wishes, who asks how things are going and so on. She nevers does so. She calls only when she needs something. Sad...

skycrapper

a very tall building or any other structure or object that makes it impossible to see the sky as if it crapped the sky with its enormous size;

Jerry: How's the apartment?
Will: I didn't like it. It was big, but all the windows faced a huge building that stood so close that you could not see the sky. I had to open the window and look outside to actually see that there was something more than just this building.
Jerry: A skycrapper.
Will: You bet it was!

manufuckturer

a manufacturer of low-quality products (manufactured in large quantities) that break down easily and/or after a short period of time

ABC-XYZ is a typical manufuckturer - they produce hundreds of thousands of these watches but never give a damn about the quality so you might say that for all of these watches their time comes quite fast.
