outsource

The process of hiring a call center to perform customer service and/or technical support, or other support tasks, obstensibly because it is cheaper than having an in-house support team. Companies also outsource to preserve their reputation, as they can use the hand of god to fire any call center employee who isn't performing in line with their vision without anyone knowing; can hire and fire employees en mass with no regrets.

My job at Foo Inc was outsourced, so I went to work for the company they outsourced to at greatly reduced pay.

Verizon Pause

An awkward pause that follows a question you know the answer to but don't have the stones to answer truthfully.

Smith: We made a decision to change our pricing model, and what we've done is we've allowed people to share data among a number of devices regardless of how many people are on the plan, it's a device model. And we're charging on the megabytes of data that they use.

Moe: Why?

(Verizon Pause)

Smith: People have changed the usage of how they're using their devices. They're moving to using more data, and to ensure the speed and reliability and the access to the network, people are paying for the amount of data that they use.

puff puff pass

1. A game in which everyone in a circle passes a spliff, bong or other smokeage. Everyone puts five on it. Each time you take a hit you say "puff puff pass." If you fail to say it, cough or pass out, you're out of the rotation. The last person holding the smokeage keeps all the money.

2. A reminder that someone is holding and should pass.

Dude, you're camping on the bong. Puff puff pass.
