Yegge

To send on an email or post something to a social website that could mean career suicide, including the ten second period immediately following where you look in vain for a way to unsend and hope beyond reason that nobody will notice what you wrote.

Named after Steve Yegge, the Google engineer who publicly flamed his management and coworkers in other departments because he posted a long-winded rant to his public circle on Google+.

"You should have seen the look on Steve's face over in his cubicle... He totally yegge'd a 1,000 page diatribe against Larry, Sergey, and another department's engineers to his public circle on Google+."
