Dial-Up

A horrible, extremely slow internet connection. With dial up your phone and computer use the same line.

Dial-Up:

Susie- I tried to call you but the line was busy!
Jane- Sorry, I was on the computer.
Susie- o_O

dial-up courage

A sense of security felt by employees of large corporations whereby workers can voice their opinions on sensitive or risky topics over a conference call instead of speaking up in a meeting and being recognized. This also applies when the employee is just too embarrassed to be seen when asking a question even though his identity is known.

Andy: So do you have the balls to challenge the CEO during his all-employee meeting on his new sexual harassment policy?

Eric: Hell no, but I have dial-up courage so I'll just call in from my desk and ask.

Andy: You are a pussy.
