PHB

Literally "Pointy Haired Boss" as featured in the long running Dilbert cartoons by Scot Adams. The phrase suggests an office manager with above average incompetance, general cluelessness and an ability to prevent anyone else in the office from doing any useful work.

Actual pointy hair is not a requirement for PHBs, but there is strong annecdotal evidence that they will rapidly develop the distinctive hairstyle.
My PHB asked me if the firewall was a serious fire hazard.

eat that mule shit

The option of last resort after following a donkey trail in a desert for many days.
I'd been walking for 17 days. I had water but no food. The hoofprints seemed to be leeding nowhere. Then I saw it - I just had to eat that mule shit.

Endb

A type of bell, found in early christian churches. Rung to denote the end of the (30 minute) period when the commandments actually apply. Sadly this feature is missing from modern chaples.
Once the Endb had finished tolling it was a sign that everyone could let their hair down and party.
