prarie dogging

In a large, open plan, cubical filled office, this is where one inmate (or employee) stands up in his/her cubicle and looks arround. This is often followed by other office workers standing up and looking around to see what all the fuss is about, in a style reminiscent of those loveable creatures, prarie dogs.

First coined by Scott Adams in a Dilbert comic strip.

In their natural environment 'employees' can often be seen prarie dogging, in case they are missing something more interesting than work.

yesman

Urban dictionary editors who accept any definition that comes along. It is not known why people do this but theories include:
i) they are attempting to get 100% acceptance stats to look 'kool'
ii) they do not like hurting peoples feelings by saying 'no'
iii) they are dumb

plural: yesmen

I hope my latest definitions of emu and matttheidiot get reviewed by a yesman.
