professionally pissed

Definition

The art of being absolutely furious while maintaining a customer-service smile and corporate-appropriate vocabulary. It's the workplace emotion equivalent of a pressure cooker where you're simultaneously boiling inside and perfectly composed outside, waiting for happy hour to finally vent.

Example Usage

After Brad took credit for my presentation in the meeting, I was professionally pissed for the rest of the day until I could rant to my friends.
