cwt

Abbreviation for "hundredweight," a confusingly inconsistent unit of measurement that equals 100 pounds in the US and 112 pounds in the UK, because why make international commerce easy? Still used in agriculture, shipping, and by people who enjoy watching others frantically Google conversion rates. A relic from when math was apparently more of a suggestion.

Face Time

The art of being physically present in the office so management can see you existing, regardless of whether you're accomplishing anything. Not to be confused with Apple's FaceTime, which at least serves a purpose.

Half the hot dog

Corporate and academic slang for submitting incomplete work or doing a half-hearted job on something that clearly needed your full effort. It's the professional equivalent of turning in a book report after only reading the first three chapters. The phrase perfectly captures that "I tried but not really" energy.

Intermediate

clusterfuck

A spectacular convergence of multiple disasters happening simultaneously, creating a chaos singularity that would make Murphy's Law look optimistic. Often used in corporate and military contexts to describe situations where everything that could go wrong decided to coordinate its attack. The technical term for when you realize you should've just stayed in bed.

Intermediate

Solutioning

The act of developing solutions, unnecessarily verbified by people who think 'solving' sounds too simple for their $200k salary. Because why use one syllable when four will do?
