benchmarks

Points of reference for a particular task or job. Or indicators of how well someone is doing.

Based on the days when engineers tested equipment for various vehicles on benches, and had marked the bench with reference points to show how well the device performed.

The basic benchmarks here in this job include that you perform at least 90% of the tasks in each working day, and clear at least 50% of anything left from the day before.

benchmark

Used as a catch-all substitute for a similar and more appropriate word that you can't quite remember, acceptable only because of its obvious incorrectness

"You know guys, I'm glad we bought those brownies. That was really a... benchmark moment"

"becca's yanif score just passed 150... she's passed her final... benchmark"

"no mom, I can't help clean right now. I'm working on a... benchmark"

Those suspicious white stains that you see on park benches after one of the_real_thraxz's busy nights on the town.

Jim: Good game lads, now let's sit on this bench to have a drink and cool down.
Jake: Eugh, what's that suggestive white fluid on it?
Jack: I think Thraxz's been doin' t'milk rounds for a bit of extra cash.

Butch Benchmark

The level obtained in examinations and tests by the big, dumb kid in the class and thus the minimum level every other respectable candidate should obtain.

'I did so bad in that test, I didn't even clear the butch benchmark'
