un-pretzel

The undoing of a large software development project. Generally involves removing half the code from a 6-12 month project over the course of a few weeks, making sure to send the commits to the original engineers who worked on it along with a virtual gift of a "pretzel stick".

Original Engineer: Dude, just finished this project. Took like 8 months of slaving 90 hour weeks.
Other Engineer: Damn, its done though, time for ??? then profit!
---2 months pass---
Other Engineer: Hey you want an un-pretzel?
Original Engineer: What's that?
Other Engineer: All the code I deleted that you wrote.
Original Engineer: :((((((((((((((((((((((((

Pretired

Trialling retirement. Typically used when someone has the means to retire and wishes to see whether it suits them, but wants to leave the door open, to rejoining the workforce, should things not work out.

Bob pretired after he sold his company, aged 55. However, after only 6 months he was bored (playing golf, fishing and pottering in the garden) and rejoined workforce.
