managerial we

When a manager says "we" and means "you"

Bossman: We need to fix this
Wageslave: OK, should I set up a meeting for us?

Managerial We

When a manager says "we" to their boss in reference to the work his/her subordinates did that he/she is taking credit for.

Subordinate: "Hey, I finished that project you asked me to do."
Manager: "Thanks, I'll let my boss know. Good work!"
Manager to Manager's Boss: "Hey, look at this thing we made, cool huh?"
Co-worker to Subordinate: "Hey, didn't you write that policy?"
Subordinate: "Yeah, that was a 'managerial we'."
Co-worker: "Snaked by the bossman again!"

mangerie

Male lingerie. Bras optional.

His suit lay crumpled on the chair, his shoes had been kicked off, and he stood before her, magnificent yet faintly ridiculous in his mangerie.

managerized

When a manager's managing manages to set you back, sometimes to square one.

I was managerized today when my manager came by and erased my design on the whiteboard and replaced it with a picture of a formula that included a dog and chocolate cake.

managering

When a manager specializes in being managerial instead of actually managing their people and fixing the issue at hand, similar to micromanaging, but done in such a way as to make themselves look like a great manager

Davey was managering us when all of the servers went down. He made sure that all actions and thoughts were his and that his people had no room to think.

mangerie

The male counterpart of lingerie, any article of men's underwear or loungewear which is somehow fancier or deliberately sexier than strictly necessary for basic, utilitarian undergarments.

I was surprised by just how much the ladies seem to love my mangerie, like that sheer-pouched thong, this silk robe, and especially my French-back yoke-front drawers, which are the only skivvies I've ever had literally ripped from my body by an exceedingly aroused woman -- which in retrospect was well worth the $25 it cost me to replace them!
