Personal Bandwidth...

band·width - The amount of data that can be passed along a communications channel in a given period of time.

This phrase has been floating around the office these days. It sounds a lot better than 'I don't have enough time'.

Go ahead and throw that out their the next time someone piles something else on your plate and says 'eat it!'

'I just do not have the bandwidth for that right now'.

Here are a couple more. Enjoy!

404 - Someone who is clueless. From the Web error message, “404 Not Found,” which means the document requested couldn’t be located. “Don’t bother asking John. He’s 404.”

Blamestorming - A group discussion of why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.

Body Nazis - Hard-core exercise and weight-lifting fanatics who look down on anyone who doesn’t work out obsessively.

Bookmark - To take note of a person for future reference. “After seeing his cool demo at Siggraph, I bookmarked him.”

Prairie Dogging - When something loud happens in a cube farm, causing heads to pop up over the walls trying to see what’s going on.
