Word for Wednesday

Today's word is bullsh. This is a word I learned from coworkers recently. It's the abbreviated/office safe form of bullsh•t.

Did you see that deadline? That's complete and total bullsh.

Word for Wednesday

Today's word is preesh. This word was brought to my attention by coworkers during a moment of appreciation. As you know, as time goes by words keep getting shorter and shorter and abbreviated. This is a shortened version of the phrase, "I appreciate it!"

A coworker shouted "preesh" over the cube wall as she ran by to a last minute meeting.

Today's word is sneakernet. This word was brought to my attention by coworkers during a hiccup on our server.

This is highly inefficient but desperate times call for desperate measures, right?!

Today the highly sophisticated servers were down, so to share files we went old school – that's right, we sneakernetted.

Word for Wednesday

Today's word is crap ton. I learned this term from coworkers. This term refers to a huge excess of something.

I hope we're not here all night, the client just ask for a crap ton of stuff before the end of the day.
