The act of spending company dollars on booze in an attempt to make a workteam get on better.
Likely to backfire and actually break down a team due to the free nature of the booze and it's much-loved disinhibition, coupled with an abhorrence of your colleagues. Watch out for a drunkfession, drunkfrontation and an assortment of drunkidity.
Crafty managers have been known to use this as a ploy to remove a disliked employee.
So you understand that your behaviour at the team building exercise was in breach of your employment contract and our code of donduct, so we have no choice to terminate your employment.

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
