Powerclipping

The act of cc'ing more senior people to an email thread in order to gain some form of recognition for your efforts. Desperate corporate types clambering up the greasy pole will exhibit this behaviour.

The powerclipper is usually not self-aware enough to use this in an ironic reflexive form, i.e. "I powerclipped senior management so they know how great I am"

Antonym: Powershedding - The emailer sees no need to cc'd everyone on the list so emails directly to the appropriate party. The emailer will usually exhibit high self-esteem.
Noun: "He's a powerclipper"
Verb: "Geez, he powerclipped me in on this banality; it's way below my pay grade"

Ann: "Why did I get this email from Bill?"
Colin: "He's powerclipping his way to the top."

Drewsius Powersium

1. (noun) Latin name: Drewsius Powersium. A rare and intriguing species of ridiculously handsome young men commonly found in the Pacific Northwest, a typical Drewsius Powersium will spend much of his day at various musical endeavors, including (but not limited to):
-trombone
-bass
-harmonica
-guitar
-didgeridoo
-possibly ukelele.

His main diet consists of toast, juice, 1% milk, and the pizza he fashions while miraculously working his opposable thumbs. Half-nocturnal, one might, in a moment of extreme good luck, bear witness to the nightly mating call this species will sometimes make on their primitive cellular apparatuses.
(Jeff Corwin): And here we have a specimen of Drewsius Powersium... careful, it's a testy critter! Ohps, he got my finger..

Ahh man, so we went on this camping trip down in Portland, and I SWEAR we almost ran into a Drewsius Powersium! Scariest moment of my life, dude, i'm tellin' ya, he was all ready to own up on my ass.
