pilot program

A new idea at a large company that either management has no faith in it being successful (hence they implement it on a small scale) or is a brilliant idea that one unit can convince management to do (although management will take the credit when it goes company-wide). Either way the folks running the pilot program will receive the least support and the utmost scrutiny from supervisors and jealous snarkyness from their coworkers. Much like real test pilots although there is less chance of death (usually).

Watercooler Guy 1: "Did you hear that Steve's department has a laptop pilot program?"

Watercooler Guy 2: "Yeah, that will never work. Steve will screw it up. I wonder if I could convince my boss to get me a laptop though."

Person 1: “bro we just shit on iowa state yesterday.”

Person 1:”damn, you right.”

radio program

When people listen to what they play on the radio so much that they begin to believe life is really a big party, that every nizzle carries a gun. They all talk, but they've got nothing to say.
