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.

Englischeisse

a word, a phrase or a sentence that is supposedly written in English, but is nothing but a huge mistake pretending to be an English word - common in crappy translations (from German - "scheisse" - "crap" or "shit") conducted by people who do not know English at all or know very little;

Mike: Oh my God, look at that toy police cruiser!
Jenna: What?
Mike: They wrote "Justness" instead of "Justice". That'a huge Englischeisse!

veni, vidi, wiki

refers to a Latin sentence "veni, vidi, vici" - "I came, I saw, I conquered" by Julius Caesar - in this case it means "I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia" ("wiki" instead of "vici") and describes a tendency to look for solution to every problem or answer to any question in Wikipedia without considering any other source;

John: That's a nice essay.
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki, bro!
John: Veni-what?
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki. I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia! I just typed the topic and I got all the answers. No library, no sitting with books till midnight. I conquered!

Sara: That sucks.
