dot war

When you're instant messaging someone and there's no conversation going anywhere, so you just send dots back and forth until a conversation picks up.

whopper dot

A small poop stain left in one’s underwear, usually after a long day of wear or a near accident. Named after the mark a melted whopper candy might leave on clothing.

After barely holding in that poop all day, I had a whopper dot in my underwear.

Get the DOT mug.

When someone manages a work-from-home employee by checking that their status in a chat application like Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc., hasn't shifted from a green dot signifying "Present/Available" to an orange, yellow, or red dot signifying "Away", rather than by measuring things like quality and quantity of work output, whether deliverables are met in a timely fashion, customer satisfaction, etc.

With the explosion in employees working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020+, many managers who had been accustomed to prowling cube farms and looking over their employees' shoulders to make sure they were working, resorted to this technique.

"My manager totally does management by green dot. I got yelled at for being 'Away' on Slack yesterday morning because I had to spend half an hour on the phone with my kid's school. I'm going to have to get one of those mouse jigglers."
