funlough 

When an employer sends you home not to work and then pays you later for the time off.

"I was happy to be deemed non-essential because Congress game me a funlough."

Furloughism

Movement or belief that supports the upcoming furlough and embraces all that it has to offer. Some of its wonderful offerings consist of but are not limited to, lots of time off if you are a federal employee and the joy of watching those people panic who thought life was a joke and spent every cent they made instead of saving some.

Person A – Boy this furlough is great. I am going golfing tomorrow, gonna day drink tomorrow and get sloppy drunk, and then be hungover the following day and do nothing except eat and scratch my balls.

Person B – Yeah, this is the life bro. And how about those scumbag losers who are at the food kitchen. Hahaha. I bet they are happy they got the iPhone4, those 300 dollar shoes, and that new Mercedes! God bless furloughism!

furlough time 

Time spent at work doing absolutely nothing work related, to make up for the furlough day the company gave you to save money due to poor financial management.

Bob: Jim, you've been goofing off all day, what gives?"

Jim: "I'm taking my furlough time. I've got four more hours to spend tomorrow."

furloughcation 

A vacation that is taken during unpaid furlough days, which you are forced to take because of the crappy economy. Pluses: time off! Minuses: pay cut. But hey, you still have a job.

"So what are you doing on your furloughcation days?" "Oh, I thought I'd work on my guitar solos and maybe play some video games. Woo, furloughcation."

furlough envy

With the downturn in the economy some companies are instituting a work furlough. Unpaid time off, with a guarantee to return to work. Most furloughs are 1-5 days off a month. Furlough envy is when someone is jealous of someone else's unpaid time off.

Dude, did you hear Jack's company is doing a 10 percent work furlough? Damn, that's fucking sweet. I've got a bitchin' case of furlough envy.

furlough tourettes 

The act of uncontrollably erupting into a profanity laced hate-bomb directed at Governor Schwarzenegger each and every time the word “furlough” is heard, (most commonly diagnosed in California state workers).

"Furlough, f@cking bullsh&t, c*cksucker. I'd like to furlough that motherf#cker right in his five foot nothing ass!" said Bill.

Sadly, this is yet another sad case of furlough tourettes.
