distracticon

a colleague who transforms from a hard-working, concientious individual into a web-surfing, joke-emailing, prank-pulling, clock-watcher in the last hour of the working day.
transformations often occur earlier on fridays or on any day the distracticon knows they won't be in the following day.

also applies to family/friends/partners when something of interest enters their circle of awareness, resulting in vacant looks later when reminded of what they'd promised earlier (whilst distracted)

distracticon

A play on the word, Decepticon from Transformers:
(n.) a person that continually interferes, interrupts, or distracts one from achieving their intended goal(s).
Every hour that "distracticon" calls me to borrow something; it's no wonder I can't get anything done.
He's friends with all his exes, but until those "distracticons" stop calling, he'll never meet anyone new.

Distraction Cake

Something pleasant which draws attention from a situation which could be awkward or embarrassing for those involved. Distraction cake originated in British teen dramedy "Skins" where Emily Fitch produced a delicious chocolate cake, seemingly from thin air, in order to remove attention from Naomi Campbell who was being heckled about her sexuality - presumably as an act to show her undying love.
Cook: I know the cure
Naomi: The cure for what?
Cook: It's my cock
Naomi: What the hell are you talking about?
*Awkward glances and laughter*
Emily: Hey look what I made! (Produces delicious distraction cake)
