langelaaring

The act of artificially scolding a coworker who is less experienced and/or less senior than you when noticing that they did something different than you would have done it, although there was no factual mistake in their way of doing things. The purpose of langelaaring is to re-establish traditional power relationships between senior and junior employees and are usually accompanied by sounds such as ‘tsk tsk tsk’ or repeating the name of the junior employee several times in a row.

Jessy: I suggested to do it differently this time but he just went off langelaaring me about it.
Jimmy: Oh, no, did he tell you what was wrong about it?
Jessy: No, he just kept shaking his head, called me a ‘youngster’, and told me I still had to learn a lot.

Get the langelaaring mug.

Langdon

Pure muscle mass only and walks like the most alpha in the room when really he is just a beta level. When he drinks water the whole bottle goes in as if he is experienced in the gulp gulp 369 experience. All girls would love to date him only if it occurs in a country called dreamland.

Man Look at chu walking like a Langdon! Man built like a Langdon!!
