Affirmation

The acknowledgement of a colleague's job well done. It was first invented by Enda McKenna in 1947 in his magnum opus on "Motivation of Female Staff in the Male Dominated Workplace". Its purpose was to recognise the added value brought to the business world by women after the Second World War; such as round-the-clock provision of biscuits, coffee and sexual favours. More recently, affirmations have become a desired method of motivation by both sexes. Traditionally, affirmation is delivered by a firm, open-handed pat to the posterior. However, there are many variations; such as the "Snap-To" where a short, sharp delivery results in surprise, awe and a warm after glow. Softer versions are the "Double" and "Triple" pats where two or three affirmations are delivered in quick succession to confirm the high level of performance currently being delivered. The third and rarely used version is the "Spank and Linger". This is when the affirmation is singular but contact is maintained, conveying the message of a job well done, worthy of additional "rewards".
Winston: Did you see that annual report that Miss Wells drew up?
Charles: Yes... jolly good for a woman. Perhaps an affirmation is deserved?
Winston: Excellent idea, a Spank and Linger I think.
Charles: Here she comes now.
*spank*... linger
Miss Wells: Oooh!
Winston: Good report. See me after work!

A feeling driven by extreme emotional suffering. A feeling so strong it starts to affect your general well-being whether it be psychological or physical.

Usually a feeling brought on by yearning or fond memories of a certain person; which when any form of pain arises it is amplified.

The Fry Affirmation

In an argument between two or more parties, at any time one party may invoke the Fry Affirmation. That is to say if that person can find any documented evidence that Stephen Fry broadly agrees with their stance on the matter, then said person automatically wins the argument.

Please note the Fry Affirmation applies to documented evidence only. If you happen to have Stephen Fry to hand during an argument please see Fry Arbitration, The for more information.
Maisy: Can you action this for me please?

John: Sure... If you can ask me again without brutalising my ears with your ugly noun/verbage. I don't see why in the 20th Cen... What... What are you doing?

Maisy: I'm searching for a video that I think may interest you.

John: Oh... Wait a minute. Are you about to invoke the Fry Affirmation? Because I'm...

Maisy: Here we go... To paraphrase: Mr Stephen Fry thinks we should relax about the ever evolving use of language and he specifically references the acceptability of nouns used as verbs.

John: I'm sorry - You were right. If you need me I will be actioning that task you gave me.
