out-house recruiter

(1) When you get an email or LinkedIn message from a recruiter who implies he/she is retained by a company to recruit for a job, but in fact he/she is submitting unsolicited candidates for a role.
(2) The opposite of an in-house recruiter / retained search.
Out-house recruiter: "Hi, I'm writing since you'd be great for an analyst role I'm trying to fill." Me: "Is this a retained search?" Out-house recruiter: "No." Me: "No thanks" and then I recommend a colleague I hate and I hope will take a different job, if by some miracle the out-house recruiter is able to place the candidate.

out-house caffeine effect

The phenomenon where coffee drinks ordered whilst eating out, have more caffeine* — to the point that their caffeine content is as kicking as that of Tombocantuxin caffeine pills

*compared to coffee drinks (of same serving size) served at homes
After downing that ice cappucino at the café, I felt the "out-house caffeine effect" kick in—way stronger than my usual brew at home.

Only a few remain, a brick building about 4ft x 2ft with an earth latrine or a ceramic toilet. Squares of newspaper hanged on a piece of string, for wiping.

Remembered as cold, inconvenient or shared with neighbours.
* "Did you leave that candle in the out house?"
* "The out house is full of spiders"
* "Ooh! Look at you with your fancy out house."
