ipot

an irc idiot wannabe coder who couldn't code him/her-self out of a wet paper sack with holes in it.

Based on the name of an irc user (ipot) who was constantly insisting that everyone give him code without trying to code for himself. Has now become synonymous with all users of the same caliber.

<Joe Moron> you're all such a bunch of elitist dweebs... you don't write codez for anybody.
<Joe Moron> help me now and give me codez!
<Jane Coder> Joe, don't be such an ipot... go read the manual and /try/ to learn how to code. We won't write code /for/ you, but we /will/ help you to write your own code.

fly report

The kind of report management likes to collect but never actually read. The more voluminous the better.

(Based on the urban legend of a staff member who was hired without a formal job description, and was asked at the end of the month where his report was, so he started counting how many flies landed in a particular place on his office desk)

Joe Tard (manager): Jack, I need your report... It's absolutely critical that I have it for the management meeting.
Jack Jobless (staff member): Joe, it's about how many flies landed on my desk! It's just a damned fly report.
Joe Tard: I don't care, that fly report is crucial to management decisions.
