the act of committing suicide (but not as the name suggests, harakiri, the actual Japanese ritual of suicide by disembowelment often used historically by the samurai).
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?
father: Adrian, G-d only knows why people commit such an irrational act. It's probably because they've reached a point in their existence where they can't find life's meaning even in a religious setting. There's always hope even in the secular setting, by getting a social worker or psychotherapist. You can always pull the roasted chestnuts out of the fire no matter how dire the situation seems to be.
son: so, what do we tell a person about to commit suicide? "don't burn your bridges"? and that they should stop rejecting the help that they deserve?
father: yup.

This is Julian’s business - Julian, i see you are on the line, can you hear me. Come on, don’t do the Mariusz.
I have been trying to get an answer from him all day during our WebEx meeting but he was not answering despite everyone could clearly see he was on the call: he was clearly doing the Mariusz.

Get the Do the Mariusz mug.When you are actively getting screwed over by something you're in charge of yet being micromanaged to the point you're not in charge anymore.
"Man I'm getting slapped by the fish but doing none of the fishing with this event plan my boss keeps telling me he'll handle things I'm in charge of!"

There’s been such an increase in people who drive at their own leisure in the fast lane, I had to give them a name.

Get the Do It Up mug."To con money out of someone, lie or be otherwise dishonest, only to face ritual humiliation on a worldwide scale". History points to a fellow, who sold a non-working laptop to another, after repeated attempts by 'victim' to receive recompense, said victim removes hard-drive from laptop, and posts very (ahem) private information about the ahhh..."victimizer". See entry for "Ownage".
