Euphemism for employee in corporate America, properly spelled associate. Associates prefer to spell and pronounce the term as assoshit as the term is just stupid and really impersonal.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
