To civil-service. Verb form of "civil service", used by co-workers at an unnamed government agency. It is means to affably but vaguely agree to aggressive demands for work by those outside your chain of command, and then go back to whatever you were (or were not) doing, secure in the knowledge that there will be no consequences. What anyone would do without fear of the lash.
That consultant babe from the Commissioner's office came by asking for a detailed report on our project status, so I civil-serviced her and then went to the retirement party on the fifth floor.

A special kind of a person who deals with irreplaceable (in thier own minds) operators, leading hands, engineers, projects managers and clients on the daily. Keeps everyone from life in prison sentences because of thier eccentric ideas that are the engineers/project managers only way to solving the simplest problems to get the project completed on time and normally to some diet of standard.
If that engineer makes the civil supervisor build that to the drawings he has another thing coming. That engineer/project manager is dreaming if he thinks he is going to win this argument with the civil supervisor. Did you hear that engineer tried to tell the surveyor and civil Supervisor what to do... he's in trouble now.

In reference to the American Civil War:
Also known as The War of Northern Aggression. This conflicted started when the Federal Government overstepped its boundaries and interfered in the affairs of sovereign states. Slavery, while an controversial issue, was not the cause of the war, most people in the South were impoverished, and had not slaves. People often justify the war, saying the war's purpose was to "free the slaves." In reality, it was part of an over-arching Federalist conspiracy.

1 : A criminal act conducted by a perpetrator who will not be prosecuted in the United States criminal courts due to their wealth and power.
2 : An action that constitutes an offense punishable by law which could be criminally prosecuted by a state's attorney, but because the perpetrator is wealthy, powerful or a corporation, the state's attorney office will not prosecute, leaving only a lawsuit in the United States civil court system as remedy for the victim of the crime.
3 : In civil court the crime of fraud becomes unjust enrichment, the crime of forgery becomes robo signing, and the crime of theft becomes conversion or breach of contract; severely diminishing the both the penalties and stigmas associated with the crime.
4 : In civil court the criminal can settle without admission of wrongdoing and does not risk prison. The costs of the lawsuit do not outweigh the profit of the crime, so crime is rewarded, encouraged and nurtured.

"I don't think that the conflict in Iraq constitutes a civil war, because if it were they would be fighting with polite words, not bullets and hand grenades," said Gretchen.
"That may be true, but how about the American Civil War," questioned Jenny.
"It wasn't very genteel either." -Gretchen
