Fartuvial Intermission

The length of time between a person farting and when that fart is first smelled.
The fartuvial intermission was just long enough for Mike to slip below the pew in church, thus leaving his wife to take the blame for the foul smell.

Interrossiter

3. Any piece of technical equipment beyond the understanding of Managers, e.g. pencil sharpener, doorknob, chair, cup.

4. The large-scale version of a "widget" or "thingie", which are usually quite small.

Internads

Internet gonads. The increased level of bravado shown amongst members of a chat room or internet forum. This allows the members to say things to one another that they would never say face to face, for fear of getting their asses whipped.
Man I ran into Yourcarsux69 the other day and I was just about to run up and kick his ass. But then I was surprised to find out he is actually not such a prick like he is on-line. I guess he just grows a pair of internads when he logs onto the nets.

Interpatheuation

Inter-path-eu-ation (group euphoria)

The process of making a later regretted decision as a group because of blind enthusiasm. Similar to mob mentality, interpatheuation is when a decision is made that one would later look at and say, "Well it seemed like a good idea at the time."

Interpatheuation commonly occurs in creative meetings where a member comes up with an idea and then more members build on that idea until it is blown out of proportion. At the time everyone would agree that what they came up with was collaborative and original. A later look would reveal a lack of attention to the idea itself and more attention to the enthusiasm of the group.

Design client: "What's that large rainbow colored rabbit doing on our poster?"
Designer: "Oh that was a result of interpatheuation. We're going to schedule a meeting and re-address that idea."

Wife (over the phone): "How did the meeting go?"
Husband: "Not great. I thought we had something going but decision making turned into interpathuation. Now I'm stuck in Singapore and I'm pretty sure there's a bounty out for me."
