furlough time

Time spent at work doing absolutely nothing work related, to make up for the furlough day the company gave you to save money due to poor financial management.
Bob: Jim, you've been goofing off all day, what gives?"

Jim: "I'm taking my furlough time. I've got four more hours to spend tomorrow."

furlough envy

With the downturn in the economy some companies are instituting a work furlough. Unpaid time off, with a guarantee to return to work. Most furloughs are 1-5 days off a month. Furlough envy is when someone is jealous of someone else's unpaid time off.
Dude, did you hear Jack's company is doing a 10 percent work furlough? Damn, that's fucking sweet. I've got a bitchin' case of furlough envy.

furlough tourettes

The act of uncontrollably erupting into a profanity laced hate-bomb directed at Governor Schwarzenegger each and every time the word “furlough” is heard, (most commonly diagnosed in California state workers).
"Furlough, f@cking bullsh&t, c*cksucker. I'd like to furlough that motherf#cker right in his five foot nothing ass!" said Bill.

Sadly, this is yet another sad case of furlough tourettes.

Furlough Beer

Beer that is consumed by students of the California State University system when their class(es) have been subjected to mandatory furloughs.

Furlough Beer often leads to more drinking of beer that is technically Non-Furlough. However, a strong argument can be made that any and all beer consumed from the start time of the first furloughed class to the start time of the next non-furloughed class is still technically Furlough Beer.
"I didn't know today was a furlough day! Let's go to (insert campus bar) for some Furlough Beer!"

Pilot Furlough

When airline management has thrown away Billions in cash on failed stock buyback schemes, a threatened pilot furlough is used to try and extract pilot concessions, so management has more money in the future for more risky stock buybacks that only benefit them.
Example #1: "Well, we pissed away all that money the employees made on stock buybacks, so we will threaten a massive pilot furlough and ram some pay and work rule cuts down their throats. Are we still on for our tee time later today?"

Example #2: "If the pilot furlough doesn't give us enough money to do more stock buybacks, we will just displace everyone to the lowest paying positions and try to force more wage and work rule concessions on them. Make sure there are plenty of hookers and blow for the airline manager party tonight. Shit is about to get real when we announce those pilot furloughs."
