Upsticks and Move on.

1) To permanently leave an area, job, country etc.

2) To Make a quick getaway.

3) When it's time to explore pastures new.

The term is widely used by the traveller community when it's time for them to move on. It originally stems from American Indian culture, where they would have to pack up their camp and move to another area. Their Tepi (tent) would be constructed by inserting around 12 very long sticks into the ground and then bundled together at the top, cloth or animal hide was draped over the top to create a shelter. When it was time to move on they would just pull up the sticks from the ground and the Tepi would just fold in on itself, making it easy for them to make a quick getaway.

1) Employee: "This Company is getting worse and worse, I think it's time for me to Upsticks and Move on."

2) When the police knock your door.
Policeman: We're here to arrest John Smith."
Housemate: "Sorry mate, he moved out 2 weeks ago."
Policeman: "where is he living now?"
Housemate: "No idea mate, he left in the night, just upsticked and moved on."

3) Traveller: "I've just got wind that the council are coming to evict us tomorrow, so get your things together it's time to Upsticks and Move on."

DavIT (aka Pablo) Move

As an IT professional you have to neatly hide the computer cables in the gutters under the desk.
When the end-user returns, keep as still as possible under the desk and wait until she moves her chair and you are almost with your head between the female Döner, then say hello and wait for her reaction.

DavIT has to neatly tidy up the computer connection cables at a handsome employee's desk. The Employee is not in the desk. DavIT is under the desk when the employee returns, he does the DavIT (aka Pablo) Move. Which means he keeps himself as still as possible and waits for the employee to sit down and pull the chair up.

His head sits to very short distance from her female Döner.

Then he suddenly says hello and anxiously awaits her reaction, will she open her legs or will he get a knee in the face.

career advancing move (CAM)

A CAM (Career Advancing Move) is the way in which one persists with drinking with work colleagues - to the point of a CLM (career limiting move) and then from that point to not stop drinking once you get to that stage, but continue to the CAM stage. This is of course more effective if the people around you should also be boarder-line inebriated.

Wow, that guy was so drunk that he just pulled off a career advancing move (CAM).
