Pawternity Leave 

A company benefit that provides paid time-off for people who have recently adopted or rescued a new puppy or kitten.
Pete had to take a sick day to stay home with his new puppy because he didn’t want to leave him alone.

He wishes his company had paid pawternity leave!

Flori-great 

The smug feeling that you get when you’re vacationing somewhere tropical/warm and you see that the weather in your hometown is experiencing cold/bad/snowy weather.
Jean was watching the Weather Channel from her Florida condo when she learned that Cleveland was experiencing a blizzard. She felt Flori-great!

Tell-ya-commuter 

Different then a work from home telecommuter, a tell-ya-commuter spends every moment of their work commute talking on their cell phone with a relative, friend, or neighbor about whatever random mundane subject pops into their mind.
Although they had no reason to talk, Jim could expect a call from Dave every day at 8:07AM as Dave became a tell-ya-commuter on his way to the office.
When a person is obnoxiously happy, they are considered to be giddeous, a combination of giddy and hideous.
Beth was absolutely giddeous over her engagement. She was so happy it made everyone around her seem sad.

butt coaster 

A towel, or other absorbent material, used to protect a bed, bench, chair, etc., from the residue moisture left over on one's posterior after a shower, bath, or swim. The towel acts much like a coaster that is used to protect furniture, except this time it's protecting the bed from your wet butt.
"Can't you please use a butt coaster" said Jean, after I got our bed wet by sitting directly on it after coming out of the shower.

charger-challenged 

The inability to remember to plug a cell phone in to recharge occasionally, thus resulting in a battery-dead device.
Jean's IPhone never work's when she needs it. She cannot ever remember to plug it in overnight. She is definitely charger-challenged.

the excuse that is used during a conference call when the sound of a flushing toilet is heard in the background.
(sound of toilet flushing)
Bob: "What was that?"
John: "Sorry, I had to take a call on line two"
