The act of sprinting across the platform as soon as the doors of your train open in order to get onto the train on the opposite side of the platform before it's doors close. Named after Finchley Road underground station in London, UK, where the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines are on either side of the platform.
Sorry I'm late, had to do a Finchley Road Sprint but I didn't make it to the other side so I had to wait for another one.

Get the Finchley Road Sprintmug. When trying to solve a software/UX design problem you sit in a room for 5 days with your asshole coworkers and jerk each other off with fake data you’ve collected from coworkers not on the design sprint team. This leads to making product decisions that affect your entire company - but, even if nobody likes what "solutions" you've come up with management dictates you implement some of them because you’d rather have something to show for sitting in a room
all week than admit it was just a huge waste of time and shareholder money.

Joey is always excited to run the design sprints because it means yet another week of him not doing any real work and the entire company finding out he is a sham.

Get the Power Sprintmug. Slow moving behemoth of a communications company, whose employees communicate all the time without communicating anything other than "You need to communicate with somebody else, don't ask who else, just don't ask me" or merely "Adding _____ " hoping some form of intelligent life will be found...much like waiting for a monkey to type out a line of Shakespeare on a typewriter.
