Mexican Promotion

An increase in responsibility or workload without an increase in pay.

I was excited when the boss promoted me to busboy, but when I discovered I would still make $9.92 an hour, I realized it was a mexican promotion."

Prometheus

A Titan who is chained and tortured by Zeus for stealing fire from heaven and giving it to mankind.

Prometheus gave the mortals all sorts of gifts: brickwork, woodworking, telling the seasons by the stars, numbers, the alphabet (for remembering things), yoked oxen, carriages, saddles, ships and sails. He also gave other gifts: healing drugs, seercraft, signs in the sky, the mining of precious metals, animal sacrifice and all art.

promotion

An increase in pay, title, and responsibility for an employee within a company that should be based on his hard work - but occasionally is based on nepotism, office politics, or sycophantic behavior while on the job.

No one seemed surprised by Joey's promotion at work, as he is the boss' son.

Prometheus

(film) - released June 2012 - a science fiction/horror film by Sir Ridley Scott, and written by Jon Spaihts & Damon Lindelof. It stars Noomi Rapace (The Girl with Dragon Tattoo), Michael Fassbender (Magneto from X-Men First Class), Guy Pearce, Idris Elba (Thor film), Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron (uber hottie actress). Set in the late 21st century, the story centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as they follow a star map discovered among the remnants of several ancient Earth civilizations. Led to a distant world and an advanced civilization, the crew seeks the origins of humanity, but instead discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race.

The film is related to Ridley Scott's "Alien" movies, and is set in the same fictional universe, however, there are many changes and differences.

The name of the film, Prometheus, is also the name of the Earthling's space-ship, sponsored by the Weyland Corporation (precursor to the Weyland-Yutani Corp of the Alien films).

"Prometheus, are you seeing this?" says Elizabeth Shaw (played by Noomi Rapace) as she radios the Prometheus spaceship to ensure they are witnessing what she is seeing through her spacesuit, which is an absolutely huge bust of a humanoid head, which looks strangely human, and is surrounded by many containers filled with some deadly outer-space crap that the crew should have left the hell alone!

Promasturbation

A combination of procrastinate and masturbation; an activity especially practiced by young men with privacy and Internet connections which tends to waste time and leaves the practitioner feeling a bit tired.

This activity can also be a security risk if the practitioner visits to many shade online sites in search of free sexual images.

Can be a tension reliever and when used in excess leads to chaffed sensitive, members and missed appointments.

Tom was going to meet his friend Louis to see a movie, but his excessive promasturbation made him loose track of time and miss the show.
