shortlisted 

shortlisted (v) — a term used to try to convince unwitting job applicants they're not being duped into subservient working conditions.
Congratulations! You have been shortlisted as a finalist for our job opening. We don't give a shit about anything except increasing our bottom line and think a superficial step in the interview process will make you more invested in our substandard offer. We'll gauge how likely you are to accept the position based on your enthusiasm. If you sound very eager, we may even lower the salary we planned to offer you!

Shortlining 

When you're talking to someone (mostly takes place in online chat conversations) and all they do is respond with the very annoying, aggravating word "Okay." Hence "shortlining." It usually happens when you're talking about something important too.
Joe: Hey how was your day?
Gary: Okay.
Joe: Well, today I went cruising with that girl I like ;)
Gary: Ok.
Joe: ... Well after I got to know her I finally confessed my feelings to her and she said she felt the same way!
Gary: Good.
Joe: ... You know what? Quit shortlining me and fuck you dude if you're not interested.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
