Coyote Boring

The feeling of frustration after having had to listen to an eternity of someone's diatribe. The feeling manifests itself as being trapped or cornered accompanied by an overwhelming urge to gnaw off something. The problem is that there is nothing to gnaw off.

This usually occurs in social gatherings where it would be considered inappropriate to leave. It can also happen at work when you just cannot get away from a coworker or worse, boss.

Dave: Hey M, how was your weekend.

Melissa: Saturday was cool. Friday I was stuck at a company function having to listen to the War-And-Peace story from Mr. Teagle from corporate. The guy would just not shut up.

Dave: Coyote Boring?

Melissa: Man I wanted to stick my head in the microwave.

Control-Slop

To mindlessly and/or carelessly copy and paste important information from one report to another without making sure that the information is actually relevant to where it's being put, or in the case of spreadsheets or other financials, not bothering to ensure that the totals continue to match or balance.

A clerk is being reprimanded in his manager's office:

Boss: You're going to have to pay closer attention to how you update our reports.

Employee: What are you talking about?

Boss: This. It's like you were someplace else when you did this control-slop and pasted last week's data into this week's report and never bothered to check it.

Beerspiration

That whisky-barrel BO smell that occurs in people who drink to the point that they've started to sweat it out.

Jessica: Man can you believe he said that to me?

Patrick: Yeah. All he does is sit on the balcony and drink. Try to not go near him. He's got that nasty beerspiration smell.

Heterodontics

The dental specialty and practice of creating irregularities of the teeth, through reshaping and exotic capping techniques utilizing fangs, jewels, and other items.

Dr. Milner got a bit of ribbing from some colleagues when he installed his first set of fang caps. One of his emails said that he should change his sign to read "SPECIALIZING IN HETERODONTICS" As the referral business started to come in, those colleagues started to change their tune.

Phone Grope

Grabbing at pockets, patting yourself down to make sure you have your cellphone and don't need to turn around and go back home for it. This behaviour tends to be heightened in people who also have a habit of going back to check the locks on the doors several times before leaving home.

Dude, stop that.

What?

Quit the phone grope. You're always grabbing at your pockets as soon as we're on the road. Didn't you remember your cell?
