Assistant Manager Syndrome

When the assistant manager is more strict or micromanages more than the actual manager as a way to try to prove their worth to corporate. This behavior usually indicates someone being after the store manager position. People with Assistant Manager Syndrome are often condescending due to a distrust in you to execute your job responsibilities properly.

Assistant Manager Syndrome is most prominent after company-wide manager meetings, and the strictness and micromanaging typically retreats to normal levels within a month after these events.

"I've been walking around the sales floor all day and haven't gotten any actual work done."

"Assistant Manager has Assistant Manager Syndrome, it's better to look busy than be busy until it dies down."

ad-skip assistant

Refers to a fellow human whom you assign to click out of commercials that often randomly appear during YouTube videos; this would be for periods of time when you are unable to operate the mouse/touch-pad yourself, such as when you have to take a dump but don't wanna pause the interesting video you were watching, but instead want to keep listening to the presentation while you're pooping. Having this other person skip over the ads for you ensures that you won't have to teeth-grindingly suffer through many minutes of boring ads while you sit on da crapper waiting for the program to resume. This can work best for largely-speech-based videos such as tech-subject lectures/documentaries, where you don't need to always watch the screen to enjoy the program.

I'm on SSI Disability, so I often spend much of my time at home; occasionally my also-unemployed buddy owes me a few bucks, and so I "hire" him to come over each day and be my ad-skip assistant for a 25¢ credit per ad; he usually "pays off" his debt that way in just a couple weeks.

Gravity Assist

1. Using a gravity of a planet to travel faster in space
2. A tactic to defecate your excrement out of your butt when it stucks inside your anus (which cause gas or any uneasiness to your excretory system/intestines). By leaning on the toilet bowl lid while sitting, your excrement inside your anus will rush down and come out of your rectum due to the Earth gravity.

Gravity Assist will help you defecate easily.
