legerdemaintenance

1. Creatively deceitful or purposefully obfuscated accounting practices used to hide illegal or embarrassing activities.

2. The mental gymnastics and/or cryptic keystroke sequences required to input data correctly into poorly designed and operationally suspect software applications (e.g., databases, .DOC & .PDF forms, etc.).

A triple portmanteau of 'ledger' (pad for posting business & accounting transactions), 'legerdemain' (magic; deception; trickery) and 'maintenance.'

James Boags Premium Lager

Undoubtedly the finest libation of the lager family of beers ever created by the hand of man (or possibly god, we're not sure.) Crafted in the lost wilds of mysterious Tasmania by a cloistered order of brewer monks whose vows of silence mean that only the distinguished few know of its existence.

NB: Not to be confused with Cascade premium, which was created as a distraction for the great unwashed masses.
