Teflon Flu

Nickname given by employees to the effects felt after working in DuPont P.F.O.A. storage tanks. Medical conditions caused by PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), a product used in the manufacture of teflon by DuPont, include birth defects, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, pre-eclampsia, and ulcerative colitis. 70,000 people living near the plant in Parkersburg, West Virginia regularly drank water tainted with the chemical known to be poisonous by DuPont - facts covered up at local, city and state levels, including the Parkersburg EPA. If not for the tenacity of local farmer Wilbur Tennant and lawyer Robert Bilott the case would not have been exposed.

Fred came home from work sick again — fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting — after working in one of the PFOA storage tanks. It happens all the time at the DuPont plant. His wife says the men at the plant call it ‘‘Teflon Flu.’’ Don't worry about it, he'll be fine.

Teflon Poo

A non-stick poo. The kind of shit that leaves no trace on one's rusty sheriff's badge.

When you wipe your arse after taking a dump but there is nothing there. The poo left no trail or trace on the loo roll or your sphincter. A Teflon Poo.

Teflon manager

A manager or senior exec who "handballs" or refuses to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. Blames others. From the saying "Nothing sticks to Teflon"

When the shit hit the fan with the merger, Rick blamed his team for doing poor work. He behaved like the Teflon manager he was

teflon slacker

Someone who puts off not doing things no matter what significance it has, and when the last minutes comes, decides it wasn't all that important along. Someone not treatable by advisers, tutors, etc.

Studying is crap for me. I'm the teflon slacker.

Teflon Don

Contrary to one poster's comment, Teflon Don (John Gotti) would not have been convicted without the testimony of Sammy "the Bull" Gravino who flipped once he was arrested and agreed to testify against his "partner" in exchange for a lighter sentence. The big difference between Sammy and John is the fact that John did not ask for or receive a shorter sentence for ratting. Before you think otherwise, do some legitimate research. The History channel site or Biography website are two credible places to begin. I hate that this site will not allow me to contest an entry simply because "it's too popular" - that was the exact reason I was given when I tried to correct or comment on that particular post. That tanks the credibility of this site immensely in my opinion.

The term "Teflon Don" refers to a former Don of the mafia named John Gotti. John Gotti ran a major crime organization for years before he was sentenced to prison because all his previous charges fell off him like food from a Teflon coated pan. Had his partner, Sammy "The Bull" Gravino not ratted him out in exchange for a lighter sentence, Teflon Don might have lived the rest of his life as a free man.

Teflon Dump

After Dropping a Deuce you wipe once and there isn't even a pale brown stain on the toilet paper.
The origin is Dow Chemical's Teflon that is applied to frying pans to keep food from sticking. Ronald Reagan was known as the "Teflon President" because no one could get any scandal to stick to him.

John: Sarah can you check my spokes and balloon knot? I just wiped and there wasn't any stain on the toilet paper.
Sarah: nothing there
John: Hey, I just dropped a Teflon Dump!
