Ishness

1.Something that you really love doing, like a hobby that holds you together or relieves you from stress.
2. Anything and everything

This is a made up word, but a convenient one. It's a little silly. Insert anywhere when you're too frustrated to think of any better word.

CYA-ishness

A quality or attitude indicative of the desire to document one's lack of culpability for foreseeable negative outcomes.

Derived from the acronym CYA, which stands for "Cover Your Ass" -- common parlance in the American workplace, used when warning co-workers to protect themselves with adequate, blame-deflecting documentation.
Joe is thankful to the Legal department for refining his skills at inserting stealth qualifiers (such as: "can," "may" and "helps to ... ") to enhance the CYA-ishness of his written materials.
