KurtSteinerPL's definitions
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.

Get the corpocrap mug.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!
Phil: No. How does it look like?

Get the descheiss mug.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.

Get the translave mug.a state of depression, lack of energy, bad mood and unwillingness to do anything, strongly connected with autumn/fall, raining and cold, windy weather; a kind of seasonal apathy that sometimes also covers winter (when winter looks more like autumn, without snow etc.)
Mark is a cheerful person, great to hang out with, but somehow his mood depends on the weather. When autumn starts, he is in a fall-falling state: does not want to go anywhere, walks around the house without any purpose etc.

Get the fall-falling mug.a policy and a way of dealing with one's company that has been widely in use since the media/banks/governments reported a financial crisis; it is a justification for various actions: staff reductions, cancelled payrise, lowered wages though none of these are necessary (because the company is doing well and needs no changes); it is a perfect explanation for everything if your general manager plans to fire some employees/cut wages and needs a good reason;
George: Crap, we're going to have staff reductions!
Will: What?
George: Yup, there were rumors, so we asked our boss about it, and despite good results of our company, half of us is going to be fired. We asked why and we heard that it was due to the financial crisis. End of story. Another example of no-comments-but-crisis policy.

Get the no-comments-but-crisis policy mug.someone who tries to be very orginal all the time and is obssesed with avoiding cliches and keeps correcting other people's words as he/she cannot stand cliches used by them, so his/her life seems to be devoted to the anti-cliche crusade only (the term refers to the character of don Quixote - the main protagonist of "The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha" by Miguel de Cervantes);
Jerry: Mary said she would not get back to the modern poetry classes.
Craig: Why not?
Jerry: When she showed her poem to the teacher, he threw her out of the room for using some of the phrases. He claimed her poem was a bunch of cliches.
Craig: What a don Clichote!
