Medical vernacular for a colonoscopy (colon) and an upper endoscopy (stomach) performed in one visit to the doctor -- aka the "spit roast."
My gastroenterologist thought it would be a good idea to check both my stomach and my colon, so I had to go in for an In 'N' Out Drive-Thru last week. Came back clean. Are you overdue for yours?
Lint, gum wrappers and other detritus found in the bottom of one's pockets.
I was sure I had a spare Viagra in my pocket, but I turned it inside out and there was just a bunch of gnurr.
Humorless; dour; unsmiling.
Man, Bill's roommate is severely amusocompromised -- we must have watched six "Seinfelds" last night and the guy didn't crack a smile the whole time.
An omakase (Japanese for âI'll leave it up to youâ) or other tasting menu where the food served is chosen by the chef rather than by the diner. The term is a word play on the mathematical concept of the ârandom walk,â a mathematical concept used in science, economics and elsewhere, and the use of woks in restaurant kitchens (which is not limited to Chinese restaurants).
We tried the random wok menu at Miyamoto's the other night and it was awesome -- we loved every single dish the chef sent out.
A problem, especially one encountered in large organizations, that is smaller in scale than can easily be fixed with the large-scale tools on hand, leading to great life-is-too-short frustration with one's inability to immediately solve it. For example: you need $7 more than you thought to pay for the lunch just delivered for your office meeting, which can be paid for only in cash, but to obtain petty cash you must fill out three different forms and get two managerial approvals. Or, you need to swat a fly, but all you have is a sledgehammer.
Mark: Unbelievable, I just want to put this birthday card in the outgoing office mail, but I asked Ted if it was OK, and he says I have to fill out an MC-1453 "Request for Personal-Use Policy Exception" form and get two signatures. I thought that was only for, like, taking a company car or using a conference room for some nonbusiness reason.
JoAnn: Small problem problem, dude. I'd just slip it in there and move on, life's too short.
A fleece jacket or vest bearing the embroidered logo of an investment bank, venture capital firm, private equity shop or other financial companybb that provides funding -- the basic outerwear garment of finance bros and sisses. Also known as a Finance Jersey, VC Jersey, PE Jersey or Wall Street Jersey.
Oh check him out, the dude in the North Face Polartec funderware -- "Schmendrick Capital." Wall Street jersey, pathetic . . . and yet sharp.
Miscellany; flotsam and jetsam. Reportedly, the term originated at National Semiconductor Corporation in the 1970s (about the time that Silicon Valley was first called that).
I thought the key to the shed was in the top kitchen drawer, but there was just the usual floobydust.
