This is a group of sycophants within an organization that can be automatically counted on to agree with an idea if they think that the boss may be leaning in favor of it.
Will the Budget Committee go along with Dr. Tom L's proposal? Well, you can count on his Amen Corner to support him!

Get the Corner Gas mug.Australian colloquialism meaning "mate" or "friend", but not necessarily in the literal term. Can be used to address a stranger in leiu of "Hey, you there!" or "Hey, kid!" in a more friendly manner. As the word's been used since the earliest Colonial settlements of Australia, many Aussies mistakenly believe the word is archaic and no-longer used. In actuality, it's simply slightly less understood then more generic forms of greeting (such as "mate").
"G'day, cobber."
"G'day, mate. How're ye doin'?"
"Aw, been flat out like a lizard drinkin'. Hear the Sydney Swans hammered Collingwood on Saturday?"
"Ripper."

Get the Cobber mug.When one starts a dating or having casual sex with one guy within a tight group of guy friends (e.g, a band, a hockey team, co-workers, rich twins and their dependent BFF). Upon discovering that the initial relationship is dwindling, availability and opportunity, catalyzed by excessive alcohol or drug use, ensues in the initial girl hooking up with one or several members of the group of guys. After depleting all resources within the group, she soon discovers that they all hate her as she has pitted them against each other and compromised their bromance. At this point, it is safe to say, that one has fucked one's-self into a corner.
Example 1:
Friend 1: "Hey, do you ever hang out with those twins who live in that sick penthouse anymore?"
Friend 2: "No, after I fucked both twins and that borderline psychotic that "works" for them, none of them will talk to me anymore! Looks like I really fucked myself into a corner on that one"
Example 2:
Friend 1: "Hey, do you wanna go see that band tonight?"
Friend 2: "Shit, I can't... It's my ex-boyfriend's band. And I fucked the whole band last night, and he's really mad... so that makes it a bit awkward"
Friend 1: "Man, you gotta stop fucking yourself into a corner all the time!!!"
Friend 1: "Hey, do you ever hang out with those twins who live in that sick penthouse anymore?"
Friend 2: "No, after I fucked both twins and that borderline psychotic that "works" for them, none of them will talk to me anymore! Looks like I really fucked myself into a corner on that one"

Get the Fucked Myself into a Corner mug.An organisation in the Mass Effect Universe. Known for it's anti-alien and supposedly pro-human policies. Headed by an individual known only as The Illusive Man (real name Jack Harper).
It claims to promote purely human interests to give Humanity it's "Rightful" place in the galaxy. Also termed a Human Supremacist organisation. Is infamous for terrorism on a galactic scale against all non-humans as well as for unethical scientific experiments and dangerous research.
Cerberus supports the principle that any methods of advancing humanity's ascension are entirely justified, including illegal or dangerous experimentation, terrorist activities, sabotage and assassination. Cerberus operatives accept that these methods are brutal, but believe history will vindicate them.
Cerberus is one of the many enemies the player will face when playing the first and third games in the Mass Effect series. Curiously, they aid the player in the second game.
This organistaion maintains it's secrecy through a number of fronts, including political parties, aerospace industries, electronics corporations, charitable interests, etc. to cover up it's more questionable activities. Is believed to be enormously well-funded, normally through these front corporations as well as from wealthy human benefactors sympathetic to it's ideals.
They are easily recognizable by their white-yellow-black armour and uniforms, as well as their diamond-like logo.

Get the Cerberus mug.an uncomfortable work situation where a coworkers get extremely close to you in your cube and corners you in. This typically happens when they look at something on your computer screen or come in to tell you some gossip. The key here is not only does the person infringe on your space, the person also stays around too long. One could be cube cornering a coworker for several minutes.
First thing Monday morning, Michael Jan did his usual cube cornering on me. I had to ask him to leave after a couple of extremely uncomfortable minutes.

Get the cube cornering mug.At a roadracing event, a member of the officiating crew (or trackday organizer's staff) who watches the exit of corners for motorcycle (or other vehicle) crashes.
Generally, cornerworkers hold flags to regulate the racetrack - red, black, blue, yellow, green, checkered, and meatball flags - and are equipped with fire-extinguishers and radios, and a strange will to stand in the hot sun all day while people crash all around them at over 150 MPH.
