Managing

A way to talk about smoking weed without actually saying the words. Used when around authority figures, virgin ears, or people you just dont like.

Mom, "hey sarah, where's billy?"
Sarah, "he said he was managing with some friends"
Mom, "your brother works too hard."

Uber-managing

The act of incessant micromanagement that manifests itself primarily in continuous questions by mostly incompetent and robotic management personalities about time sheet status and billable hours totals (or lack thereof)

John: Max, why did you stay so late last night on a lazy summer day?

Max: My manager would not stop uber-managing me about my time and why my hours are low.. I had to stay until 3 am filling out time sheets..

John: That sucks man,you should quit that job..

Micro-managing

Controlling everything to the most minute details. A skill generally perfected by stressed brides.

Fanbagging

A bag fangirling. It's all really about skintight suits and giant swords in the end.

"I was fanbagging over Ramlethal's 17 skin!"

Manbashing

When women are talking about how much they hate men, or what they don’t like about men. Or saying stereotypes about men.

Sarah: why didn’t you put the seat down? Omg all men are such fucking pigs.

Bob: Sarah stop manbashing

MBWA (Managing by walking around)

MBWA ... is an art. However, it is an art that can probably be learned—and it is clearly unrelated to having an 'outgoing' personality. In fact, arguably the best wanderers are the introverts who start with the ability to listen, because listening ... is at the heart of effective MBWA.

Those guys are useless at EVERYTHING, except MBWA (Managing by walking around)!

You know those times when you are soooo busy yet all you do is MBWA (Managing by walking around)!?
