elephant clicking

When a technical person (developer, engineer, scientist, et al.) uses a UI tool to solve a problem instead of the command line or underlying program.

The 'elephant' comes from the PostgreSQL elephant and the many related SQL GUI clients that allow developers to avoid using SQL from the command line for queries. However, this phrase is not limited to PostgreSQL and can refer to any other GUI or related to tool that allows a user to click around to find their way.

This phrase originated at Even Financial, an incomparable Fintech company in the heart of NYC.

Chucking a Corey 

Chucking a Corey occurs when an individual condemns an act that they initially encouraged with the intention of destructive comedic pursuit. This phenomenon is also thought to be self-sustaining as it can only be ceased after the condemner has brutally abused an individual beyond the point of psychological moronism. Problems can often arise if the mentality becomes osmotic within the mob mentality and several Corey’s are spawned within the same tribal group.
Although still unknown, masculinity (and its inherent lack of), is thought to be the biggest cause of Chucking a Corey.
Corey: (at party) You're so weak, you're not even drinking, you never drink!!

Other person: Yeh you're right! *gets a beer*

Corey: Dude why are you always drinking for? You don't need to drink to have fun...(chucking a corey)

cat clocking 

When you catch an individual looking at you and they immediately look away only to look back at you soon after. A phrase derived from the old fashion cat clocks that would move their eyes from side to side as the seconds went by.
Dennis: " Have you seen who's here at the party?"
Alex: " Yeah man, looks like Torran made it after all"
Dennis: " You think he knows you are here?"
Alex : "Of course he knows I'm here, he's been cat clocking me since I got here. Acting like he hasn't seen me" "He knows he owes me money"
