Working on Laptops 

a phrase that means "Having homosexual relations". Popularized in October 2009 by two airline pilots that over-shot their intended destination to Minneapolis and broke radio communication for almost an hour. They couldn't come up with a valid excuse for what happened and tried to cover up the event (very poorly I might add).
Boss: "What the hell where you two doing in the stock room together!?"

HomoA: "Uh.... we were arguing..."

HomoB: "We were Working on Laptops! Yeah! That's it..."

Boss: "Hmmm... don't know if I'm buying that one you queers"
