break the seal

Certain species of Seal are naturally resistant to
training by humans. This is due to their wild, savage nature.
However, with some patience and a steady supply of fresh fish, most seals *can* be trained.

A human seal trainer is said to have "broken the seal" when the Seal correctly fetches a chilled beverage, such as a Moslon Golden or perhaps a delicious Molson Dry from the polar ice, in exchange for a handful of anchovies.

Anchovies are delicious.

Ole: Ya.

break room

A room in the office of a company that contains a refrigerator, microwave, keurig machine, and sink. The food it contains includes various sandwich meats, breads, cheeses, soups, health food bars, cereals, and pre-prepared foods brought by other companies for staff to share.
Man, I'm sure glad we have this break room and not same lame-ass cafeteria or kitchen.

Can you believe Matt called this a kitchen? It doesn't even have a stove . What an idiot.

I heard Rob called this break room a cafeteria, but it doesn't even look close to a Furr's. What an idiot.
