Don't Neglect the Balls 

Words used to describe a person in your workplace who possesses a PhD in Epic Douchebaggery.

A typical "DNB" will do things far beyond what any normal person will do to please their superiors; often without any additional compensation, reward or recognition.

DNB's alienate their peers due to their weasely kissy-ass nature, and often believe they hold an advanced supervisory position - often implied by their boss in order to boost their ball attentiveness.
Boss - "I see you are making deliveries after work on your own time...but don't neglect the balls!"

Employee - "Gargle Gargle!" ("Yes Sir!")

Boss - "Um, SURE you're the nightshift super*mumble*...as long as you keep letting me know who's goofing around!"

Employee - "Gargle Gargle!"

Window of Neglect

(idiom) -the digital preview or buffer of any form of realtime direct communication to an individual that gives them advanced knowledge of digital message without tripping any evidence (i.e. read receipts)that would prove the message was read by the receiving party, with this advanced info one can choose to either acknowledge and answer the text or blatantly ignore and deny that you were even aware of it existence thus free of blame.

-Technologically created space between a person and a digital message allowing the individual to side step its acknowledgement avoiding accountability by way of ignorance.
"The window of neglect will surely lead you to the hall of empty promises."
