Target-rich environment

A situation that would normally fit the word "surrounded", however the party that is surrounded has some form of superior weapons system that would not have an issue with defeating all attacking parties at once, turning an undesirable situation into an environment rich with potential targets- hence the term, 'target-rich environment'.

Also occasionally used sarcastically to refer to being in a firefight or otherwise surrounded by hostile forces.

"This ain't an ambush, we have a goddamn tank- it's a target-rich environment. Fire at will."

(If used sarcastically) "I really don't care about the mission, I'm just trying to get out of this target-rich environment before some jackass blows my head clean off."

Environment

A slang term used to mock a place, group, or program that’s poorly managed, unprepared, or just overall lacking. Saying “environment” alone — with no context — sarcastically points out dysfunction, failure, or chaos. Used when something is so bad it speaks for itself.

“When the sound system cut out mid-show and no one knew what to do, all I could say was… environment.”

Fast Paced Environment

Corporate speak for overworked and underpaid.

Interviewer: "This is a fast paced environment"

Me: "You mean overworked, underpaid, understaffed and having to do 15 people's jobs despite only getting poorly paid for one?"
