Coexpensive

Costing the same

"Hey, from here, a trip to Paris is roughly coexpensive with going to Hawaii -- let's go to France."

Or: "Outsourcing payroll is going to be coexpensive with keeping it in house, so I could go either way on it."

It's obviously a play on "coextensive."

Universal donor

In the proofreading business, a document that is full of typographical errors, aka, “typos.” The expression is a play on the concept of the so-called universal blood donor: type O being the blood type that can be donated and transfused to anyone regardless of their blood type, a “universal donor” document is … chock full of Type Os.

Chad, take this universal donor back to your desk and fix all the typos and misspellings, jeez.

Parelevant

Of marginal relevance -- not really relevant, but close enough to maybe be interesting anyway. (From "para" (beside, subsidiary to) + relevant (probative).)

Phil, your job performance this year sucked, although the fact that you always made a fresh pot of decaf when it was almost out is parelevant and gets you some team-play points.

Circumcoition

A ten-dollar word for "screwing around," i.e., wasting time -- circum (around) + coition (having sex).

"OK, folks, enough of this circumcoition -- let's get this goddam truck unloaded."

man-aging partner

A shrewish, nagging spouse who thereby takes at least two years off of one's life for each year of marriage.
