We clearly need new buzzwords or “power-words” for the New Year. My office is already using “Swingline” (Office Space), “Cornflower Blue” (Fight Club) and “What was I doing? Was I chasing this guy?” (Memento)
All proactive suggestions welcome.

Nonsensical catchphrases are also encouraged.
We seem to be having trouble **overcoming the gag-reflex** here. C’mon people, let’s **pull the two-way chipper out of the bag**. If our division is going to **get to the choice pitons** someone’s going to have to **change the toner cartridge** here!
