Accounts Prayable

The polite corporate euphemism for “we’re broke, but let’s pretend we’re still solvent.” Refers to the mystical stage of cash-flow crisis where “Accounts Payable” becomes “Accounts Prayable,” as in, pray the suppliers don’t notice, pray the bank transfers clear, pray payroll hits.

When your CFO puts a charitable donation box outside his office, you know your company’s officially in Accounts Prayable mode.

Shade account

When someone makes an insta account sorta like a spam account but way more personal. Use names instead of "they" and post depressing things about their life!

Positive Accountability

Positive accountability removes the negative annotation of the word accountability in the sense that it it motivates based on reward and not consequences.

The concept of Positive Accountability equates to gaslighting employees into self motivating and over-achieving-because their successes are also my successes.-Eugene "Rocky" Madsen

Root account

The account in Unix and Unix-like operating systems that has access to most of the system (or not all). With this account, you can do many things that normal users without sudo "super user do" access cannot do, such as editing configuration files, software management, user management, and more. It is usually created by the system after the OS installation is finished, however the password may be set during the installation or after the installation.

If you know the password for the root account, do not play with the system unless you know what you're doing.
