Zero Interest Rate Phenomenon. In the period of near-zero interest rates that lasted from roughly 2008-2021, cash was cheap and many people - especially large tech companies - were throwing away money on silly things. Those things went away in 2022 and are now known as ZIRPs.
Googler 1: “Arrrgh I can’t fix this bug! Can you call the office fluffer down here to help get my mind off this for a bit?”
Googler 2: “Sorry chief, they got rid of the fluffers in ‘22. Just like the dog spa and the corporate Segways. Those were all ZIRPs, bud. Welcome to the age of austerity.”

Bob looked to be a promising hire with his Princeton degree and impressive summer internships. But when his boss checked his internet use log, it was obvious Bob had been sandbagging up a storm: posting daily from work on his "Notorious B.O.B. in da hizzouse" blog and spending an inordinate amount of time on midgetporn.com.

Get the sandbag mug.Short for "bridge and tunnelers." People who hang out in Manhattan but live elsewhere and come in on a bridge or tunnel. Generally have a trashy reputation among Manhattanites, but in reality can range from sketchy Jersey shore guido types to normal Brooklyn/Queens residents who didn't want to shell out $2000 a month for a closet-sized shithole in The Village. Surprisingly, most B&Ters are nothing like the guy in "My New Haircut." Still snobbier Manhattan residents usually stay away from bars/clubs frequented by the B&Ters.
Jersey shore guido: "Out of the way, broski. Me and my boys are ready to down some fuckin' Jager bombs. We're gonna get wasted and grind on every piece of pussy in this place. The bitches are gonna love my new haircut."
Roxbury bouncer: "This is the Roxbury. We wouldn't allow trashy B&Ters like you guys in this club even if you had Jessica Alba with you."
Jersey shore guido: "Not now chief, I'm in the fucking ZONE!" (tries to walk in, ends up in nearby dumpster)

Jay: "Just a second, broskarooni, need to find my shades."
Jeff: "What? Why the hell would you wear sunglasses? It's 10pm and totally dark outside."
Jay: "Bro. They're my gettin' laid shades. If I put on the shades, best believe I'm gettin' laid. The ladies love these."
Jeff: "Shades or no shades, you haven't gotten laid in like 5 years, not counting that skank we paid $30 in Tijuana because we felt sorry for you. People already think you're enough of an obnoxious douche when you don't Corey Hart it."
Jay: "Don't be hatin' on my style. I'm gonna have my pick of any girl in the club tonight. Let's see...do I want a threesome with the Swenson sisters...or maybe I'll bang Alejandra, that new Brazilian model in town? So hard to choose! Don't worry bro, I'll make sure you get the DUFF, HAHAHAHAHA!"
Jeff: "Whatever you say, man. We both know the only girl you're going home with is jill, just like every other night. Just make sure you use a tissue instead of my towel this time, assclown."

Get the Corey Hart it mug.A person, usually a heterosexual female, who pursues relationships or hookups with the founders of tech startups. Like a jersey chaser for nerds. This term was used in the "Bachmanity Insanity" episode of "Silicon Valley."
Clive: "Hey Otto, how's the organic sustainable single-origin artisanal small batch cold brew nitro coffee roasting gig going?"
Otto: "Not great, man. It turns out that our proprietary method of using only high altitude Jamaican Blue Mountain beans filtered through the digestive tract of a civet cat is pretty expensive. So we set our price at $10 a cup, which barely covers our costs, but it's been hard to compete with these low-end stores like Four Barrel and Ritual that sell coffee for only $7, and the peasants here in SF actually drink that swill instead of ours. We went out of business."
Clive: "Oh well, at least you have Matilda. She's your ride-or-die-bitch, right?"
Otto: "Um, not really. She ditched me for this douchebag who is Co-Founder and CEO of this stupid app called Pewply."
Clive: "You mean the app where you take a picture of your feces and it gives you dietary recommendations based on their machine learning big data algorithms? Dude, Pewply is awesome. It totally helped me better come to grips with my gluten allergy."
Otto: "Yeah I'm sensitive to gluten too. But I can't believe she left me for this chode just because of his piece of crap - no pun intended - startup!"
Clive: "Connect the dots, man. Before you, she hooked up with the founders of Markitable, Zenalytics, Flooberli, Sharepnp, and Majikly. She's a classic founder hounder!"
