To be caught doing something wrong and disgraced in front of a large group of people (as happened to Lance Armstrong which is obviously where the word comes from).
They finally figured out that secretary has been stealing the petty cash & blaming everyone else - they pulled stolen money out of her desk in front of everyone!
To die a cruel and unusual death by boredom, PowerPoint, charts, and emergency drill procedures. Known to cause blindness (temporary or permanent) from having to stare at loud, multi-colored Ralph Furley-looking button-up shirts.
I was sucked into an emergency meetingtoday and my partner was Lanced; I'm going to miss him.
A cruel and unusual form of death from PowerPoint, charts, long meetings, and emergency management procedures. Known to cause Blindness (temporary or permanent) from having to stare at loud, multi-colored, Ralph Furley-looking button-up shirts.
I am glad I didn't go to that meeting, it was a certain death from being Lanced.
