slack queen (SQ)

A desirable, dignified woman who fulfills the duties of a man's wife/girlfriend while the wife/girlfriend reaps the benefits of her labor. The man seeks/uses the SQ to take up his wife's/girlfriend's slack but is still committed to making sure his wife/girlfriend is cherished on the forefront. Unfortunately, he manipulates the SQ into believing she is just as relevant as his wife/girlfriend who doesn't fulfill his needs consistently. ( other titles: side chick, mistress, other woman, secret lover) ("Slack" refers to limited or no.... cooking, love-making, comforting, or helping with any thing a man may need.)

The CEO called his Slack Queen (SQ) to bring him lunch because his wife didn't feel like coming out in the cold. After lunch, he thanked the Slack Queen (SQ), and then went home to pick his wife up to take her on a trip to Italy.

Circle of Slack

When many users mute a channel on Slack to avoid useless notifications, but the authors have noticed. So they post on others channels to make sure those users received the notifications. In the long run, those others channels will also endup being muted, since they now throw useless notifications.

Each iteration of this circle increase the number of channels the authors need to post to and the number of muted channels by the users.

- "People only post memes in #news"
- "I know, I muted that channel."
- "Me too, but they realized it! Now they post in #news, #global and #admin to be sure we see them."
- "Oh no, I'll mute those too."

- "It's the circle, the circle of slack" 🎵🦁👑🎵

Slack Factor

The ratio of the number of employees in a firm, to the number of Slack channels used by the firm. The higher the Slack Factor, the higher the number of Slack channels per employee, and the lower the possibility of finding that one message you know you just read a minute ago that you needed to respond to.

I just saw a question from Larry, but our Slack Factor is so high, I don't even remember what channel it was in any more. I guess he's not getting an answer.
