adminstapation

Portmanteau of 'administration' and 'constipation.' Unnecessary and painful blockages in the passage of paperwork through the entrails of a bureaucracy.

I'm sick of the adminstapation that is resulting in my medical treatment being delayed by months!

Admin-Hall

Adjective - to commit to something or someone, only to later go back on your word without any communication whatsoever. Especially in the context of a school, where the entire administrative hallway might have promised to do something, only to later go back on their word without any communication whatsoever.

Adminsplaining

Adminsplaining: Like mansplaining but where a colleague (coincidentally often a man, but yes, not *always* because yes, not all men (sigh)) explains a thing you can do with a particular work app, whether you needed to know it or not and almost always regardless of whether you already knew about it or not.

"Hey, colleague, did you know that if you hold down cntrl when you click a link it opens in a new tab? "

"Gee, Gerry, thanks for adminsplaining that to me."

Hey, colleague, if you wear your swipe card on a lanyard then it'll always be there when you need it to get into the building.

Hey, colleague, Emails come to you inbox. Did you know that? Here let me show you.
