Slack Factor

The ratio of the number of employees in a firm, to the number of Slack channels used by the firm. The higher the Slack Factor, the higher the number of Slack channels per employee, and the lower the possibility of finding that one message you know you just read a minute ago that you needed to respond to.
I just saw a question from Larry, but our Slack Factor is so high, I don't even remember what channel it was in any more. I guess he's not getting an answer.

Slack-Shit

When you intentionally shit your slacks so you can be in your hotel room alone while on a business trip. Its the last option when you run out of excuses to avoid happy hour with open mouth breathers from the conference.

Slack Separation Anxiety

The anxious feeling you get when you should be working and online but are in fact not actively working, namely that someone might be trying to reach you via Slack and you will be unable to respond to them or provide what they need in that moment. Which, of course, will immediately get you fired.

Common symptoms: Ghost phone vibration, thinking you heard a slack ping, etc
I have Slack Separation Anxiety so I don't stray too far from my laptop during the day.
