Parelevant

Of marginal relevance -- not really relevant, but close enough to maybe be interesting anyway. (From "para" (beside, subsidiary to) + relevant (probative).)
Phil, your job performance this year sucked, although the fact that you always made a fresh pot of decaf when it was almost out is parelevant and gets you some team-play points.

Universal donor

In the proofreading business, a document that is full of typographical errors, aka, “typos.” The expression is a play on the concept of the so-called universal blood donor: type O being the blood type that can be donated and transfused to anyone regardless of their blood type, a “universal donor” document is … chock full of Type Os.
Chad, take this universal donor back to your desk and fix all the typos and misspellings, jeez.

lotion chimp

A particularly low-order minion -- qualified to perfrom only the most mindless tasks, on the order of a trained chimpanzee smearing suntan lotion on its reclining master.
I had a morning meeting, so I had my lotion chimp come over and let the electrician in.

Circumcoition

A ten-dollar word for "screwing around," i.e., wasting time -- circum (around) + coition (having sex).
"OK, folks, enough of this circumcoition -- let's get this goddam truck unloaded."

man-aging partner

A shrewish, nagging spouse who thereby takes at least two years off of one's life for each year of marriage.
"Sorry, guys, I can't make the game -- the man-aging partner has me on garage cleanout duty, eff me."

iNert

The state of being so engrossed in one's device (iPhone, iPad or equivalent) that one remains oblivious to all surrounding activity and communication and to the social norms that once governed them. Accordingly, the Law of iNertia states that a person engaged with his or her device will remain so engaged, regardless of any forces acting upon them to achieve a change of state. (The Law of iNertia thus operates contrary to the Law of Inertia, according to which a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will continue moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external non zero force.)
"Hon, did you ask Mike to take out the trash?"

"Yeah, but he was iNert. I'll try after dinner."
