operational

Cohering to the context of the first usage of the word.
An operational word would cohere to the word's original usage.

For instance the statement "All capitalist countries are based on slave trade" is operationally incorrect because slave traders acted in the context of mercantilism.

Operational Cockblock

Noun. In the workplace: A boss (male or female) who says "no" to your creative & efficient idea, because they did not think of it first.

Verb. Operational Cockblocking: the act of getting ahead in the workplace rejecting your idea, but as their means to get ahead later in the future. See Operational Clockblock.
I thought Clockblockers, who can't get laid, only hangout in bars....

But today an Operational Cockblock happened to me.

Where my boss rejected an idea I had, because they thought it was dumb; although the idea would have saved the company millions.

Where a year later........:

Your boss got promoted because they used your idea they "brilliantly suggested"....

......and a week later: you get fired.

Operational Ammnesia

A managerial condition characterized by the sudden and selective loss of memory—especially when recalling past decisions, commitments, or facts might result in accountability, inconvenience, or admitting fault. Often triggered by audits, performance reviews, or someone else remembering too much.
Symptoms of Operational Ammnesia include phrases like “I don’t recall approving that”, “Was that in writing?”, and the classic “Let’s not dwell on the past.”

You are about to get destroyed physically, mentally, and spiritaully. Generally if this phrase is bellowed out it means the bellower is about to engage in a mass slaughter with absolutly no care for their own safety. Expect no quarter given. Although a relitivly rare act, certain social pressures, neurological ihibitors, or defeat in a video game can cause this.
