Captain Woodie came to run the meeting, but only talked about how much he loved being in the Marine Corps. Consequently, nothing got done and no decisions were made. We wasted an afternoon because of the wood!
Everyone was pissed that we’d failed to meet our objective, and then Captain Woodie told us that there were just too many obstacles and we’d have to beat our heads against the wall for a long time before we could expect to win.
We could have been better prepared for the competition, but no one planned any training, or told us anything. After the race, while we were trying to figure out how to get home, a captain woodie came out and told us how we could have won if we’d had just a bit more luck

Get the Captain Woodie mug.At Microsoft, this is the only relevant question. As seen on the now infamous brick in front of the CLT support center.
This question has to do with feckless social climbers and empire builders who haven't an ounce of character but consider themselves better than anyone else in the world.

Before anyone could leave without him, Amanjot raised his arms in indignation and defiance; WWCM? he shouted, as if everyone in the world was obligated to do his bidding and make sure he had exactly what he wanted.

Get the WWCM? mug.A clueless, Manic-depressive moron who is always "in your face". This is one of those guys that you carefully try to avoid at social gatherings because they have no social grace. They will babble on about how great their life is one minute and how much it sucks to be them the next.
They want to take on the world, but then they don't have time for it. They get mad at you when you remind them of their commitments, as they've moved on to bigger things in their head.

The Big Grin cornered me last night and told me all about the big promotion he got at work, when I agreed that his life was good he told me about the long hours and how it sucks to be him.
When I remined him of the paperwork he had due, he got angry at me because he had since gotten bigger and better things to do.

Get the The Big Grin mug.A communist rag that passes itself off as the mouthpiece of an allegedly democratic country.
Their writings typically challenge the soverign power of other counties without the opportunity for rebuttal. Propoganda is a mild word compared to the yellow journalism they are known for thoughout the world.
The touble is, that without the Internet and the value that it avails without substance, credibility or the test of time honoured history this rag has little credibilty. Even so, it is heralded as the voice of a people not far removed from anarchy and cared for still by other nations. A cry from a child who does not yet even understand why it is crying, but imposing itself as the savior of the millenium.

I read in the Times of India, how they are so much smarter than us, it's a pity we didn't happen upon them while we were yet still ameoba; turbans and all, they seemed to possess the power to lift us out of the ooze while still being fed and nurtured by those nations that they now declare they saved.

Get the Times of India mug.1. To act, think or behave without regard to anyone other than yourself and your interests. Beyond the normal selfish behavior includes lying and distorting even the most apparent facts to get your way.

1. He wanted the team lead position so badly that he degrooted me by planting a ficticious e-mail in my personell file.
2. When managers decided that I was the best candidate for the job he wanted, he pulled a degroot saying that I had been a nazi in a previous life and that by promoting me they were descriminating against his Jewish heritage.

Get the degroot mug.An Asshole on the highway or interstate who insists on getting in front of you no matter how many people he has to kill to do it. Usually it's just a compulsion of many inexperienced yankee agressive drivers who think that by following you and arriving a second and a half later to their destination their lives will somehow be ruined or at least irrepairably damaged. They must get in front of you at all cost, or bob & weave inches from your rear bumper until they do. These are the same people you usually see in handcuffs being escorted to the back of the patrol car after they've caused a major accident.
They are the cool, beutiful people who think that a) the world owes them a living, b) normal laws of physics somehow don't apply to them.

Todd could not understand why the judge sentenced him to 150 hours of community service after he rear ended that family of four with his beamer. They simply should have let 'me go' (mego) first he kept insisting all through his trial.
The next day, in his new Volvo, Todd was killed when he tried to drive up under a slow moving dump truck that had braked suddenly on the highway.
Poor dumbass!
