Pencil and Sharpener theory

The lock and key theory can finally be disproved. The lock and key theory states that "A key that opens many locks is a master key, yet a lock that can be opened by many keys is a useless lock" The counter theory, the pencil and sharpener theory states that "a pencil that is sharpened by a lot of sharpeners becomes a useless stub/pencil while a sharpener that sharpens a lot of pencils is a good pencil sharpener" This theory is rarely favoured by males... for some reason.

Are you curious to know how this proof was derived? if YES, Click on Alt + F4 (on windows) and ⌘ + Shift + W (on a mac)
The pencil and sharpener theory is mostly used to shut a boy up when he brings up the lock and key theory. Works everytime

SHARP Chicken

Like Gay Chicken, but at the work place. Two co-workers/buddies try to psych each other out by massaging, groping, dirty talking and the like while at work. The two try to push the envelope and whoever stops first is the loser. Often leads to sexual harassment (SHARP) complaints from other staff that they are making them uncomfortable, or hours of fun and laughter (depending on how cool your staff is).
Lenny: Alright Steve, at Monday morning's staff meeting you're going down.
Steve: Bullcrap. I haven't lost a game of SHARP Chicken yet

Sharp elbows

In its most basic sense, it means pushing through a crowd.
But it is also used for a more metaphorical sense. E.g. for people who don't mind pushing other people out of the way or stepping on others to get what they want.
In other words, it means to be aggressive or ambitious, usually at the expense of others.
Young employees have sharp elbows these days. They dream more about management positions and high salaries than their older colleagues.

sarpolus

It’s a Greek name. After hours of searching I managed to find that it simply means “talks a lot”. But quite possibly it could mean more, or whatever the beholder of the name wishes it to be.
He’s totally a Sarpolus of a man

Put down the Sharpie

A request to someone to admit they are wrong.
