Pop-tech

Pop-culture technology - wearables, drones, robots, social media, apps, mobile phones etc. As opposed to traditional technology - servers, end-user computing, networking devices etc.

Person #1: "Have you heard the latest? Facebook paid 800 squillion dollars to buy a virtual reality headset business and a messaging app."

Person #2: "All that pop-tech nonsense gives me the shits. Have you seen the latest Hitachi storage attached network?"

Tumbleweeds.

Yawelcs

A much more efficient way for saying "You're welcome".

Trent: "Hey Dennis, thanks for helping me move last weekend."
Dennis: "Yawelcs."

Opportunity Roulette

Used in a business context. Contacting a lead that you think may be open to the idea of purchasing the products or services your business sells, but having no idea whether they are in a position to do so right now, or if your business is even in the conversation.

I'm going to spend the morning playing opportunity roulette with the lost leads from last month.

Ninjaing

To behave (or attempt to behave) in a ninja-esque manner, with agility, skills, subtlety, and stealth.

I was ninjaing my way around the house in the dark because I didn't want to wake the kids.

Thought-smithing

Spending time and effort curating a thought or series of thoughts.

Husband: "I am thinking about building the kids a treehouse."
Wife: "We don't have any suitable trees and you are not very good at construction."
Husband: "I know, I am thought-smithing the idea to find a viable solution."

Compulsory

Optional.

For when you are organizing a "compulsory" event or meeting and people choose not to attend because for no other reason, they just don't want to.

"Hi person, please attend this meeting. It is compulsory."

"No. I don't want to."
