spousal unit

Good generic term for your husband, wife or partner, especially when you don't want to mention a specific name in your blog or novel (or you can't remember.)

My spousal unit is really annoying today.

Yard Dandruff

Yard Dandruff is the grass clippings, leaves, pods, seeds and other materials that get stuck to your dog's fur and then are deposited all over your house. The condition is worst in the Spring and Fall.

"What is all that crap all over the couch? It hurts to sit there."

"That's just yard dandruff. Ripley has been rolling in the seed pods again."

Then a miracle occurs

The standard method for having an unreasonable deadline met just in time. Usually quoted when the time given, staffing levels or design constraints will not be met in any other way.

Sam: "This project will take three months from beginning to end, design, develop and test."

Boss: "It's due in three weeks."

Sam: "Well, we take one week to train sixteen new people, one week to do all of the design work, and four days to write the code. Then a miracle occurs, and we ship just before the deadline."

tarped

A specialized injury found often in baseball parks. As the tarp is run out over the field to protect the surface from rain, one of the team trips (or loses a leg), and is covered by the tarp.

Where's Walt?

I don't know. He was just here. What's that bump over there?

Dude. Walt got tarped.

unchange

The paper money you receive when you dump a load of change at the hotel desk or currency exchange.

"I just got a twenty-pound note in unchange for all my coins."

copious spare time

The amount of time left in a day that is completely booked, which is to say, none.

Well, I have three finals today, a baseball game this afternoon and a date this evening, so I'd be happy to read your psych paper in my copious spare time.

Total Delegation Meltdown

A disastrous event produced when the manager delegates every possible aspect of the planning to others who have real jobs and don't actually complete anything on schedule.

David go to Dublin this week? Who wouldn't want to go to Dublin?

Dude, none of the presentations were ready - there was a total delegation meltdown.
