Thought exercise used to define realistic parameters of a given situation or event. The individual creates a horror floor by taking a scientific method type approach to their situation/event, analyzing the pros and cons, and defining the true worst possible outcomes in a non-pessimistic or biased manner. Much like the 'glass ceiling', which limits positive growth in talented individuals but exists and is enforced by the mind , the 'Horror Floor' is an exercise in the reverse direction. By defining the real worst possible outcomes, the individual creating their horror floor can find solid footing to begin the assessment of challenging situations without giving in to bottomless and reasonless despair.
You fail (test/deadline/important responsibility) and feel terrible. It was paramount that you not fail, and your self-esteem takes a big hit. You begin to doubt what you know about yourself now that you have broken one of your most personal edicts. You then take a deep breath and carefully consider the ramifications of your failure, and consider their real impact on your life and how dire or trivial the end results are without bias or pessimism. You define and accept where and how you failed, while consciously addressing what other tools or resources you have that can remedy your situation. You keep in mind the limits of the consequences of your failure without allowing them to consume you and prevent you from utilizing the rest of your resources to build new foundations that will prevent you from future failure. By defining where the limits of your failure reach and the nature of said failure and consequences, you create your "horror floor", which serves as a foundation to limit the 'bottomless' sensation of emotional/intellectual despair.

In sales, a floor-whore is a salesperson who only works the floor or sales lot. Doesn't ask for referrals or make prospecting calls.
A salesperson on a car lot or real estate office that only takes incoming calls or walk-ins but never makes an effort to create their own business, is whoring the floor, thus a floor-whore.

Bill has been here for over a month now and hasn't brought in a single customer or prospect from his own effort... All the other sales reps are getting referrals and working their personal leads in addition to the company provided leads and walk-ins. The sales reps are starting to call Bill a floor-whore.

A threatening term used to describe oneself or another person hanging themselves. Yes it might be too soon to use such a term after someone has actually killed themselves, but it only brightens the mood in the room.
