Moving The Mouse

Treading water, doing the minimum to get by. Originated from working on a "PC" or Personal Computer. If there is no activity for several minutes in a row, the screen will go blank or a screensaver pops up, showing your co-workers that you are not doing any work (both in the office and monitoring remotely). So to "Move the Mouse" is to do just enough to get by as to not be outed as a slacker or non-productive.

Mouse Jump

A cliche used when anything unanticipated happens, typically used as a cop-out. Origin is from the cursor behavior seen on personal computers when moving the mouse causes the cursor to travel quickly and erratically across the monitor clicking on items, moving files, starting applications, or causing other unintended actions.

I tried to send you that TPS report, but my "mouse jumped" and it is gone now.

mouse cheese

Contrary to popular belief, mice really aren't all that crazy about cheese. Sure, they might eat it if there's nothing else around -- a hungry mouse can't be too picky -- but it's far from his favorite food.

If you happen to have a pet mouse, keep in mind that feeding him cheese could even be harmful as cheese is not a natural part of the mouse diet. Stick to fresh fruits and veggies along with high quality mouse pellets to maximize nutrition, with a few sweets and grains thrown in as an occasional treat.

Butt mouse

The lint ball that runs down your leg when taking a shower. Originates from the crack of your butt.

I was taking my shower when a big black butt mouse ran down my leg. It must have come from my new black undies.
