The systematic, meticulous and highly persuasive bullshit that is said or written when an Auditor doesn’t have or cannot be bothered to provide a legitimate logic for the rationale they have used for an audit methodology.

Dude, just give it some Audit Chat, always does the trick

Audit Cowboy

Like a cowboy in the Wild West, an auditor does what he has to do to survive. He shoots from the hip, and documents his way around problem areas to reduce work load and conflict with clients.

Manager - “How did you manage to reconcile tax payable to within 28 cents when you’re clearly missing specific expenses/tax allowances?”

Audit Clerk “I did what I had to do, I’m an audit cowboy and it’s tough out here in the Wild West”

Audit Hangover

Physical and emotional symptoms normally representative of a drinking hangover, but which occur from auditing too late, particularly in busy season.

Guy #1: "Oh man, I was here drafting that long-form audit summary memo until 3:00 this morning. I've got a massive headache, sensitivity to light and sound, shakes, dizziness, and an overall feeling of regret for what I did last night."

Guy #2 "Shit, sounds like you've got a serious audit hangover. Nothing that 4 ibuprofen and a Red Bull can't fix, though."

Guy #1 "Oh snap."

Oblication

A vacation, feeling more like an obligation, that involves visiting or staying with family.

So Joe where are you taking the kids for spring break vacation? We are going on an oblication to Boca to visit my mother-in-law.

Surf Dracula Syndrome

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.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
