rathole file 

This is where documents procrastinate after apathetic organization has rodented (is that a word yet? I mean ferreted and squirreled are verbs, but there are plenty of rodents that succinctly define the behavior) them away to an innocuous corner of of an administrative employee's office.

How did you find the Jonathon estate contract? That wasn't in his folder.

I just dug it out of the rathole file. Looks like the last signature on it is five years old.

EOS 

"End of Service" or "End of Support". It means the developers have deemed the software or software-as-service benefits themselves less than the community that supported it, and are now washing their hands of you goddamn swine. Oh, but please buy our sequel!

ShitUp announced an EOS for DC. But at least they promised us a virtual afterparty!

Pete 

Short for Peter. Peters don't tent to response to diminutive forms of their name, but they also don't overcompensate with self-promotion, such as diminutive Pete does.

"So what did you think of Pete in bed?"
"I know how he is in bed. That's why I call him Peter."

umu 

It's an archaic Japanese interjection meaning 'yea', 'uh huh'. In modern Japanese fiction it's used similar to いい (ii) in that it can be used as an affirmative or positive ("Yes, that's good"), noncommittally or resignedly ("fine, alright") or dismissively ("Enough!")

"Do you want to play shougi"?
"Umu, I sure do! Where shall we play?"

Necropancy 

The act of drawing forth shed lower body garments from the bottom of the clothes pile, and making them WALK AGAIN!

I think Carl has given his boxers a second life. He has the smell of necropancy about him.

shit rolls down hill 

In military parlance it means anything crappy coming from the top of the chain of command will hit everyone down to the bottom. This includes dumbass decision making, disciplinary actions, or simply a superior taking his frustrations out on subordinates.

Privates, I'm knee deep in your ass right now because the 1st Sgt was knee-deep in my ass this morning, and shit rolls down hill!
