market correction 

A business term used to describe how a free-market economy balances itself after extreme events run their course like a rising stocks after a recession or the real estate bubble burst.

GOOD:
Pete: I was just promoted at work! I've been wasting my talents there for WEEKS, but the VP just quit and they promoted me to replace him. Guess I was due for a market correction, huh? How's the girl situation, Bob?

CPCFS (Chronic Political Correctness Fatigue Syndrome) 

An increasingly common ailment across the United States, particularly with the gainfully employed.

Symptoms include the overwhelming urge to curse and yell "Really????" when reading almost any headline, or email bulletin from Human Resources.

The stress from the modern work environment may often cause suffers to consume alcohol, and or play the guitar at Volume 11.

Causes are well understood. The human brain is not hardwired to speak as the everything should be filtered through a "lawyer buffer". Those on earth that still have some sort of "Sense of Humor" find the modern work environment challenging. (Not the WORK part.....the EGGSHELLS part
CPCFS (Chronic Political Correctness Fatigue Syndrome) is the reason for Happy Hour.

Drunk Correction 

A correction angle that is factored into one's beer pong shot due to extensive intoxication.

The size and placement of the angle is completely dependent on the level of intoxication of the shooter. It is also an acquired skill that develops over time and is usually non-existent in those that suck at beer pong and/or drinking.

Note that this is similar to the concept of crosswind correction, an airplane piloting technique referring to the correction needed for a crosswind present during landing.
"Wow, Darren has been drinking heavily all day and he's still hitting cups like a champion. He really has great drunk correction."

"Dammit Matt, either start putting in some drunk correction or I'm finding a new partner. I'm carrying this team, asshole."

collective soul 

Without question, or any sliver of doubt, the most underrated rock band of our lifetimes. One of the most incredibly talented bands, which unfortunately, are unheard of or unknown by many people. People instantly recognize songs such as "December" and "Shine," yet have never heard of Collective Soul.
Tracks produced by Collective Soul such as "Heavy," "She said," "Counting the Days," "Perfect Day" etc. are some of the greatest songs of our time, yet go unheard by virtually everyone.

correctional work 

An oxymoron because anyone who does this work knows there is no work involved.
Yeah man, I been doing correctional work for just upwards of 20 years now and I’ve gained only a little over a hundred pounds which ain’t too bad considering the truckloads of pizza I must’ve eaten every single day on the job!
