power blip

Small amount of time you get to yourself when moving on from one ho to the next.

Powerflip

An infinitesimal change in a relationship when the usual holder of power loses all balance and finds him or herself vulnerable and confused and their previously clueless and idiotic companion holding the reigns on the entire partnership. A total, and completely involuntary, transfer of power.
"And out of nowhere it was ME who was calling her house over and over and texting too much. I don't know what happened, she used to be completely in love with me and I was always just 'meh' about her. Now it's the exact opposite. I'm going crazy."

"Ah, I see. It's the Powerflip. Comes out of nowhere, man."

Powerclipping

The act of cc'ing more senior people to an email thread in order to gain some form of recognition for your efforts. Desperate corporate types clambering up the greasy pole will exhibit this behaviour.

The powerclipper is usually not self-aware enough to use this in an ironic reflexive form, i.e. "I powerclipped senior management so they know how great I am"

Antonym: Powershedding - The emailer sees no need to cc'd everyone on the list so emails directly to the appropriate party. The emailer will usually exhibit high self-esteem.
Noun: "He's a powerclipper"
Verb: "Geez, he powerclipped me in on this banality; it's way below my pay grade"

Ann: "Why did I get this email from Bill?"
Colin: "He's powerclipping his way to the top."
