Octaphilia

The perverse desire to emulate fashion, hair and music from the 1980's despite severe social criticisms for doing so.

"Patty what are you doing? The big shoulder pads, the big sometimes blue or green hair? What's up with your boyfriend too with the eyeliner? Don't you see that people are laughing at you?"

"Well my boyfriend still likes Boy George and Wham and I still like Pat Benatar and Dynasty and I think that blue hair is my best color. Get with it Suzie."

"Get with it?!!!! I hated that stuff even then! Your octaphilia is out of control!"

Job float

The realization that one can never achieve distinction on one's job no matter how hard one works or how much is contributed to that job. Due to this, the employee's best course of action is to do as little as possible while working.

"You still doing that same old job? You haven't gotten a promotion in 15 years!"

"I know. Job float is great!"
