productivity throttling controls

Security devices and configurations which inhibit or minimize employee productivity. Employee productivity may be impacted by limiting access to information, communication and computing functionality, as well as by limiting computing performance. Controls may block websites, may block communication channels such as IRC, may slow computing devices by using full-disk encryption, antivirus, and spyware, may break applications by performing man-in-the-middle attacks and by misconfiguring applications. For some employees, substantial effort may be expended to find workarounds to bypass controls.

Brenda: Why won’t IE open this site?
Tim: The productivity throttling controls are misconfigured to arbitrarily disable TLS connections in IE. Go into Tools and enable TLS connections.

The productivity throttling controls won’t allow Firefox to get a critical update that addresses a vulnerability. Now I need to download the update and manually install. What a waste of time.

My workstation is churning away because of having to scan the large email attachment that I received. Because of the productivity throttling controls, I am unable to even switch tabs in my web browser.

Bill: Websense is prohibiting me from downloading a library I need to complete this work.
Me: We’ll let customer wait another day for the deliverable while I bypass the productivity throttling controls by downloading the library at home tonight and supplying to you on a USB tomorrow.

Thropping

The act of eating noodles and instead of slurping it, you use your lip and tongue to throw it in your mouth, resulting in thropping your noodles.

Andrea: "Stop thropping your spaghetti, it's impolite!"
Booda: "It's easier!"

throttling

Describes the intentional shipping and receiving delays imposed by the online DVD rental service NetFlix to limit their customer's maximum number of DVD rentals per month.

By delaying the shipment and denying the receipt of returned DVD's, NetFlix is able to limit (throttling) users to a maximum number of DVD's per month while advertising unlimited rentals. This practice has recently come to light with both a Class Action law suit and recent a recent AP story that ran nationally.

blood throttling

A scream you hear from within the walls whilst babysitting a creepy child late at night. A not-so-common misuse of "blood curdling."

See: Gnar

"Then after he went to sleep, it sounded like it was in the, like, in the walls, and it was the most...most...blood...blood throttling scream. Ever. It was hella gnar."

fart throttling

The act of releasing a small portion of your fart to avoid confrontation.

There was no way I'd make it through our long quarterly meeting without farting so I had to employ my fart throttling skills to release gas without getting caught.

throttling

The occurrence caused by the rhythm of lovemaking whereupon one partner’s head is repeatedly struck against a wall, headboard, or other fixed object.

His head beat a staccato pattern against the wall as she, approaching climax, rode him harder and deferred her worry that the throttling was causing a severe concussion.
