S.O.B. (Standard Operating Brocedure)

A set of established protocols governing the responsibilities of a man in an interpersonal relationship with his friends(bros).
If a man's friend(bro) is preparing to hook up with a fat, ugly, or otherwise disfigured girl; it is S.O.B. (Standard Operating Brocedure) to warn him not to. However, if said warning is unheeded, it is also S.O.B. to ridicule and otherwise attempt to humiliate said chubby-chaser by making jokes, coming up with nicknames(see:chubby-chaser), pictures, and any and all other forms of torture.

Operator as fuck

Pejorative, tongue-in-cheek phrase used to describe people who acquire "tactical" weapons and accessories, but lack the basic skills, disposition and physical fitness required to use them.

The term "weapon operator" was originally applied to military personnel that were required to operate weapons during the course of their duties. Later it was used to refer to any special operation force member (Like a Navy Seal or Green Beret) and shortened to "operator" Its usage as a serious term has fallen out of favor due to its increased popularity with tacticool crowd.

Typically, someone who is "operator as fuck" will attempt to compensate for their lack of skill and fitness by attaching expensive accessories to their weapons and spending more hours bragging about shooting than actually practicing marksmanship.
Overheard at a public gun range:

"Did you get a look at the 300lb whale in lane five? He's got so much crap attached to his rifle he can't even pick it up."
--"You'd better watch what you say around him, that guy is operator as fuck."

Operational Cockblock

Noun. In the workplace: A boss (male or female) who says "no" to your creative & efficient idea, because they did not think of it first.

Verb. Operational Cockblocking: the act of getting ahead in the workplace rejecting your idea, but as their means to get ahead later in the future. See Operational Clockblock.
I thought Clockblockers, who can't get laid, only hangout in bars....

But today an Operational Cockblock happened to me.

Where my boss rejected an idea I had, because they thought it was dumb; although the idea would have saved the company millions.

Where a year later........:

Your boss got promoted because they used your idea they "brilliantly suggested"....

......and a week later: you get fired.
