Desk Commute

Commuting from your bed to your desk in the morning.

Popularized with the “work from home” movement post-Covid.

Instead of commuting in your car on a long trip to work, you now must instead commute from the comfort of your sleep to your computer desk.

Employee 2: She probably overslept and never made the desk commute

Orc Desk

(Magyarul, Ork pad)
In the Balcanic country of Hungary,
when a student is really ugly and/or too smelly for being in the same room as the other classmates during class or while taking an exam, if the teachers sees the need for it, the student has to carry his/her desk to outside of the classroom, and write his/her notes or continue the exam there.
The teachers will usally say 'Te kint írod mert te Ork vagy!' (You write outside 'cause you're an Orc!) when they see the need for this action.
It's usally occurs during exams, because the teachers don't want the smelly and/or ugly student to distract the attention of other fellow students
Teacher: Na te kint írod mert te egy Ork vagy!
Studnet: *Takes his desk outside of the room and continues taking the exam in the Orc desk*
