(refers to the mob shooting in 1929 - the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and the St. Valentine's Day itself; comes from "massacre" and "sucker") a total destruction of hopes and dreams of people who sent Valentine cards to their dream-boyfriends/-girlfriends, where they usually finally have the courage to show their feelings, hoping that this would allow them to start a beautiful relationship - the hopes and dreams end up with a failure (because of being rejected by the "beloved one"), often involving being made fun of and laughted at in front of the whole class or school and eventually called a loser and a sucker;
Alan fell in love with Jen the very moment he saw here, but she was out of his league. He was always somewhere around her, waiting for the right moment to tell here about his feelings. And so there was St. Valentine's Day. He sent her a beautiful, hand-made card, where he described his affection. Not only did she rejected him, but also showed the card to all the worst possible people she could have shown it to, so they all made fun of Alan for like a month. He felt like a total loser and a sucker. It was his St. Valentine's Day Massucker.

fall-falling

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.

no-comments-but-crisis policy

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.

tomoron

(from "tomorrow" and "moron")

1) a task given to an employee by his/her superior by the end of the day (usually 5 minutes before the end of work) with a demand to get it done for the morning next day which makes the unlucky employee stay at work extra hours (rarely paid for) like a moron, because everyone else can go and enjoy the evening and he/she is the one caught to do the dirty work;

2) a person caught by his/her superior 5 minutes before the end of the day at work to do something very important for the next day morning so he/she needs to stay longer to complete the task;
1) I had to stay at work till 8pm to finish the tomoron my boss gave me. It was a report he needed for the board the next day morning.

2) I was about the leave the office when Mrs. Jenkins, my boss, caught me and asked me to do her a small favour. The favour was a report for the last 10 years. It was something she forgot to do and needed asap. I could not say no, of course, and had to sit there for 3 hours to finish it. I felt like a tomoron.
