Mexican Backpack

A racial term to describe the leaf blowers that landscapers wear. Typically, the engine of this type of leaf blower is strapped to the worker's back while the hose runs down their arm to their hand where they can direct the air stream.

Whoa! Check out the Mexican Backpack on that guy! It looks like a 44cc dual-ring piston engine, and WOW a hip mounted throttle controls with cruise control. Now that guy can still work AND be lazy.

Walk Pool

Similar to a carpool, this activity involves traveling in a group from an initial source to a shared destination. However, the traveling is done by walking and there general is no energy savings or reduction in your carbon footprint when taking part in this activity. Walk pooling commonly occurs in the office environment when a meeting occurs in another building and allows you to arrive with the people that you want to arrive with.

John scheduled the next meeting in his building and not ours, which means we have to get off our lazy asses and hoof it to his place. At least we can all walk pool there together.

cobbleshoot

A word used to describe the activity of trying to understand the root cause of a problem or issue and at the same time trying to brainstorm a solution. Cobbleshoot is a merge of the word "troubleshoot" and phrase "cobble something together."

Our tiger team of program managers got together to cobbleshoot the communication problems within our org. I think they'll have it solved by the end of the week.
