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!
