An alternative collective noun for a shuffle of bureaucrats, specifically those with some sort of auditing task. Inspired by their flocking behaviour and use of clipboards as a work tool. Derogatory.
"Better sort out those paperclips, Bob; the Department of Clipboards is just getting out of the lift."

That Clipboard Monkey reckons she's of some sort of importance because she stands outside a nightclub all night with a list of names.

A derogatory term for the petty bureaucrat's badge of office. It is held close to the chest and carries papers with information that is jealously guarded. It allows access to sensitive areas and gives the bearer authority to pry into the work being done by others. Often used for micromanagement and the application of "bureaucracy gone mad".

Professional version of hold my beer. Words to say to a friend before willingly initiating a situation that holds the potential to end very well or very poorly.
I have a solution to this, but it's pretty ballsy and it kind of takes a crap on the current solution my boss put in place.
I'm going to do it. Ed, hold my clipboard.
