Get the dog walker mug.A derogatory term used for office workers that work in a production or warehouse environment. This includes engineers, sales people and any sort of middle management who spend most of the day on the computer. They are typically detached from the production/shipping process, lack knowledge of the time needed to complete projects and are notorious for making promises to customers that they don't have to keep.
The term comes from the floor they spend most of their time on, usually being a carpeted office as apposed to the cold, hard concrete of the warehouse floor.

Get the Investment wanker mug.Coined by Twitter user @buggy_con, the John Walker Effect is when in any form of media, the writers unintentionally make the antagonist characters
-Far more entertaining
-Far more believable as characters
-More sympathetic
-More heroic than the stale and downright evil protagonists/heroes
Typically you will see the writers project all the attributes they view as evil onto these characters in order to make a straw man to pit against their oh so perfect heroes. However, this unintentionally causes these characters to be beloved by the audience (or at least a section of the audience who believe that the ideas they embody are good), for they are the only ones who
-Call out the protagonists' bullshit for what it is
-Have actual ideas and motivations that aren't selfish
-In some way or other represent the ideal of the ideology they embody (since a writer cannot tear down an idea without first building it up)
Oftentimes these characters have to be amped up to cartoonish levels of evil in order to try and make the audience root against them, which usually does not end up working and in some cases just makes the audience love them more.
