meanyal task

A beneath-his-dignity job dat really "bugs" a toxic-minded individual if he has to perform it, especially if a certain 10-year-old local sleuth was da one who caused him to hafta do it.

Making one or more members of da town's early-teenage-bully group engage in a meanyal task may indeed feel good, but keep in mind dat you may also feel like you've "got a tiger by da tail" while observing/supervising said punitive activities!

Task Switching

When your supervisor or manager asks you to complete a task and you put the task/duty onto another coworker while on shift.

Last night at work my manager asked me to do something during my shift. I found my nearest coworker and gave the task that I didn't want to do to them. Task Switching is really difficult to pull off since it must be consensual for the employee receiving your assigned task.

Shit tasking

You know those shitty tasks at work that no one likes to do? Those tasks that the new guy always gets? Well if you're new at your job, you'll most likely be shit tasking for the first week at least.

Dad: Hey kimmy, how was your first day at work?
Kimmy: It was splendid! NAH, JUST KIDDING. I've been shit tasking all day long

Dad: Just shut the f*ck up Kimmy and do your job

disagreeable-task swap

Refers to a "buddy assistance" deal where Person A completes a yucky/difficult/boring job for Person B that he doesn't feel up to suffering through, while Person B tackles a similarly-sucky task that Person A would ordinarily have to perform himself, but also loathes the thought of doing.

I cleaned out Tiffany's garage in exchange for her vacuuming and mopping the muddy floors of my house after a boisterous post-game visit from our town's little-league baseball team... pretty fair disagreeable-task swap, if you ask me.

fractional task

The opposite of multi-tasking. When one is only capable of focusing on part of one or multiple tasks at any given moment.

Wow! Your multi-tasking skills are on point! I can only fractional task.

I was fractional tasking all day and got 7 different things partially done.

task troll

A task troll is someone with a limited understanding of a discussion yet maintains their authority by sending opponents on spurious and pointless tasks in order to evade engagement in the discussion. An aura of superiority can be achieved with little or no substantial credibility. It may "buy time" or lead to one's opponent being exhausted after doing the heavy work.

The task troll wasn't sure how to respond in our debate so he asked me to read five particular academic papers and report back. I doubt he's read even a single paper among thousands that deal with this matter.
