Get the Cluster Fuck mug.Also: Fuster Cluck
Term used to describe the state of affairs resulting from too many staffers and not enough TRAINED staffers on a project. This usually happens as a result of a rush or deadline which cannot be met, when managers or planners resort to simply adding warm bodies to the effort out of sheer desperation or incompetence. Also results from having a surplus of supervisors or other overhead-related personnel who cannot actually perform any useful work towards project goals, especially where the prescence or contributions of these people hinders work performed by others.

Get the rolling cluster fuck mug.A sexual indulgence not at all involving the Iranian people or its beliefs. The act entails dousing oneself in plutonium and masturbatory fluids while religiously praising the glory of our Dear Leader, Kim Jong-un. Afterwards, the individual must sneak through the Chinese border--Seppuku must take place if the individual in question is already within the nation of China--and continue to obtain nuclear launch codes on which he/she will smuggle into Iran via the anus so that a large group of security guards will have to manually retrieve the said object with their hands. This is done solely for the pleasure of the individual.
