Dugald 

To pleasure oneself by rubbing against a carpet

George was having a tough day, so he went home, made a hot cup of tea and Dugald himself on the living room floor

Dougaled

The act of getting dougaled. This is when someone (probably Tyler) commits the act of dabbling with the dougald. This is regarded as one of the most advanced sexual acts around and should not be tried without being extremely experienced already.

"What did you do last night?'
"I think I got Dougaled"
"Do you have boob hickeys?!"
"Yes, weird right?"
"YOU GOT DOUGALED!"

Dugaldism 

Dugaldism

A mining-specific term describing a situation so profoundly fucked that it has officially maxed out its potential for further fuckery. Characterized by placing a “post turtle”—someone elevated to a position far above their ability, competence, or comprehension—in charge of critical functions, particularly High Reliability Operations (HRO). The purest expression of Dugaldism occurs when leadership decides the best way to fix systemic chaos is by giving a clueless manager absolute authority over the very thing they understand least, typically safety or reliability. It’s the corporate equivalent of putting a toddler in charge of air traffic control, then expressing surprise when everything inevitably crashes.

We’ve fully embraced Dugaldism by putting the post turtle in charge of HRO. Can’t wait to see how they solve safety by ordering more pizza parties and branded pens.

The sheer fuckery of this place, so many aids, pure Dugaldism
Here are some additional examples of Dugaldism in action:

We reached peak Dugaldism today—management decided the best response to equipment failures was to repaint the workshop floors and give everyone matching hats

Classic Dugaldism moment: the post turtle just mandated ‘zero incidents’ by banning reporting incidents altogether

You know it’s Dugaldism when they replace faulty safety gear with motivational posters saying ‘Safety First!’ printed on paper that catches fire

It’s Dugaldism at its finest when the only qualification for running an HRO program is confidently misusing the words ‘synergy’ and ‘culture change’ in every meeting

Achieved maximum Dugaldism yesterday when the post turtle announced that all hazards have officially been removed—because he deleted them from the spreadsheet

We’ve hit full Dugaldism. Management’s response to the latest safety breach? Promoting the guy who caused it, since he now has ‘valuable first-hand experience

The team knew Dugaldism was in full swing when the HRO manager thought ‘critical control’ meant deciding who brings donuts on Fridays.

Nothing screams Dugaldism like responding to a safety audit failure by scheduling more meetings to discuss scheduling fewer meetings.
