brocursion

Having your idea completely ignored by a group, then later repeated by someone else in the group.
After which, that person who repeated what you said gets credit for your idea, and is met with wild acceptance.
I explained a workaround for a known bug, and heard nothing but a room full of crickets.
Twenty minutes later, Eric re-explained my workaround as if it were his idea, and the room lit up with excitement.
It was at that point, I realized that I was another victim of brocursion.

Muckracking

The act of installing tired, low-grade machines into a data center or co-location because the IT boss is either: 1) too cheap 2) certified in name-only, or 3) easily swayed by the salesperson that flew in with hookers and cocaine.
I'm going to be up all night muckracking these PowerEdge 1950's we got stuck with for Exchange servers.
