Lateral Copy

Sharing an article from the Internet while bypassing a paywall.
If you are a member and receive an interesting article, but your friend cannot read it because they are not a member, what do you do? You copy the article “by hand”, put it back together nicely and send it to the friend. This is a lateral copy.

Another great article that J. will be interested in. But the link is useless to him: he's not a member. I'll have to make him a lateral copy again.

Human Copying Machine

A highly trained person who wastes their time copying and pasting the same information in multiple locations because:
1. The systems are not interconnected.
2. Leadership and key contributors refuse to look at the SSOT (single source of truth) and each want it provided through a different channel
3. You are required by management to post it in multiple places hoping anyone will view it.

The human copying machine could be doing so much more for our customers if they were wasting time.

Copy-Paste Comeback

When you insult someone because they're stupid, and they write or say the exact or almost exact thing back.

(What a conversation with a person who uses copy-paste comebacks looks like.)
You: Hey, what do you want on the pizza?
Stupid Person: Pineapple.
You: Ew, heck no. That's disgusting.
Stupid Person: No, you're disgusting.
