Managering

The act of commanding others to do tasks while you yourself never contribute no matter how easy or hard the task is.

People that are managering also tend to waste more time getting other people to do work than just doing it themselves.

While the term usually applies to actual managers of jobs (hence the name), it can apply to anyone outside the workplace.

Example 1

Employee: You called me over here sir?

Manager: I need you to clean up this spill

Employee: But you are already holding a mop and paper towels. You could have done this yourself much quicker than the time it took me to respond to you. Instead of managering why don't you do some work yourself because I don't see why the company needs someone like you.

Example 2

Mom: Go vacuum the floors they have been filthy all day. It's like you don't ever help around the house.

Child: Mom, I just got home from school, why could you not do it?

Mom: Unlike you I am busy almost all day doing chores and working 8 hour shifts.

Child: Mom, you have been on this couch watching Sex and the City since I left for school and you are still watching it.

Mom: ...

Child: Instead of managering could you help out while I'm busy?

manajeerial

An "upper mucky-muck" position on da corporate ladder which requires/allows a staffperson holding said lofty title to direct assorted verbal barbs and snide remarks at his underlings.

Da stupidly-macho Red Green definitely held a manajeerial position over his initially-spineless and annoyingly-nerdy nephew Harold, but eventually Red had to grudgingly acknowledge dat Harold was actually much wiser and more sensible/realistic than he himself was.

manatee

A brown herbivorous sea mammal that is home to Florida, and mainly the Everglades National Park

From time to time I dream that I’m a manatee
Undulating underneath the sea
Unshackled by the chains of idle vanity
A modest manatee, that’s me

I look just like a chubby, brown banana-tee
As I nose along the cozy ocean floor
Immune from human folly and inanity
That’s why a manatee is such a happy, herby bore

I’m a manatee, I’m a manatee
I’m every bit as wrinkled as my grannity
No difference between my face and fanity
A noble manatee, well, that’s me

With the dietary habits of a manatee
I never fail to lick my platter clean
I sprinkle seaweed on my raisin branity
The perfect manatee cuisine

With my wit, sophistication and urbanity
I dignify my watery domain
No one near will ever hear me use profanity
Because a manatee has his image to maintain

I’m a manatee, I’m a manatee
I keep my reputation spick and spanity
No difference between my face and fanity
A speakly manatee, well, that's me

Encumbered by my lumbering giganity
I’m thought to be an ocean going brute
The least appealing creature on the planety
But to a manatee, I’m cute

I prefer my world of silence and of sanity
But my underwater friends don’t all agree
For whenever I am dreaming I’m a manatee
Somewhere a manatee is dreaming that he is me

I’m a manatee, I’m a manatee
Outside the fold of boring old humanity
No difference between my face and fanity
I’m a rolly polly, jelly rolly, sugar bowly
Heart and souly manatee, that’s me
