Slack Week

Also known as Reading Week, it's a University student's equivalent to March Break.

University student 1: What are you doing for Reading Week?
University student 2: Not much. Think I'll veg on the couch and watch soaps all day. You?
University student 1: I think I'll work on my Methods (Sociology) assignments and study for the midterm. Haven't decided what else I'll do.

University student 2: Happy Slack Week

Slack Block

Prevention of someone else's ability to slack off. At work, if your computer is being repaired, but you are offered a loaner to continue to be productive, the IT guy 'slack blocked' you. If at home, you're significant other presents a reasonable request to do something, that prevents you from vegging.

My computer is being worked on by IT and I thought I'd have the afternoon off, but they slack blocked me with a loaner machine.

Slack Shaming

The digital walk of shame that occurs when a well-intentioned Slack message lands in the wrong channel, triggering a swarm of passive-aggressive emojis, thread derailments, and a 10-minute debate about “channel etiquette.” Often followed by a link to the workspace guidelines you definitely didn’t read. (see Post Traumatic Slack Disorder)

“Dude, I just asked where the bathroom was and now the #devops team is roasting me. Total Slack shaming.

Slack-Shit 

When you intentionally shit your slacks so you can be in your hotel room alone while on a business trip. Its the last option when you run out of excuses to avoid happy hour with open mouth breathers from the conference.

I accidentally had a Slack-Shit so im not going out for drinks after the seminar tonight. Im going to my hotel room and watching southpark.

conscious or unconscious employee habit (usually a dude) of replying outside of a slack thread to make sure one's message is read by the entire channel audience resulting in a waste of everyone's time

Slack jacking

When someone takes over a thread on the Slack messaging app for their own purpose

I was talking to Mark in the update channel in Slack and the entire sales team decided slack jacking would be a good idea to discuss how to sell it.
