Dictionary of Geek Office Slang
Ah, its Wednesday - that day were we longingly look at the calendar and begin the internal “I think I can, I think I can”. To help enliven you midweek longing we thought we’d pass on the exceptional collection of Geek Office Slang. An excerpt:
CGI Joe: A hard-core CGI script programmer with all the social skills and charisma of a plastic action figure.
Chainsaw Consultant: An outside expert brought in to reduce the employee head count, leaving the top brass with clean hands.
Chip Jewelry: Old computers destined to be scrapped or turned into decoration. “I paid three grand for that Mac and now it’s nothing but chip jewelry.”
Chips and Salsa: Chips = hardware, salsa = software. “First we gotta figure out if the problem’s in your chips or your salsa.”
CLM (Career Limiting Move)- Used by microserfs to describe an ill- advised activity. “Trashing your boss while he or she is within earshot is a serious CLM.”
Cobweb: A WWW site that never changes.
Got any of your own terms that should be on the list?
