Connected Worker Technology 

Connected worker technologies are tablet based tools that frontline workers use on factory floors at manufacturing companies. These software platforms help teams develop work instructions, manage critical process information, and organize employee training programs.

They’re also useful in eliminating production errors, reducing machine downtime, and ensuring the overnight shift isn’t completely screwed when 57-year-old Roger calls in sick, since he was the only worker who could operate the 16-foot, 200-ton ring rolling machine without losing a limb.
How the heck should I know how to troubleshoot a coil condenser heat exchanger? It’s my first day at this plant, and my last job was at Shoe Carnival. Doesn’t this dungeon have one of those Connected Worker thingies?

Just a few hours after giving Connected Worker tech to one of my direct reports, I started reporting to her. Is that Moore’s Law? Pretty sure it’s Moore’s Law.

Theo, a worker at a pumpkin processing plant, told the Operations Manager that since 85 deaths happen per year from forklift related accidents, their company should still consider using Connected Worker Technology.

My last job didn’t have a Connected Worker platform and I was stuck training with Joe Bob who smelled like stale cigarettes and regret.

Your honor, at our heavy machine manufacturing facility, making an error of three one thousandths of an inch can be the difference between a happy customer and thirteen 13-vehicle pileup on Interstate 81. That’s why we bought Connected Worker tablets.

My new job gave everyone on the floor Connected Worker tablets, and now I’m certified on turning human generated fecal sludge into commercially valuable byproducts.

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
