Dilbert is a highly-read comic strip started in 1989 by cartoonist Scott Adams featuring the office life of character Dilbert and his partners: the scheming Dogbert, Ratbert, Wally, often-angry Alice, the ignorant Pointy-Haired Boss, the genious garbage man, and other minor characters. Dilbert is portrayed as a smart, but often work-avoiding, employee. Wally is usually the same. The only hard-working engineer is Alice, but, despite her efforts, has never gotten a raise or any sort of credit for her work. Asok the Intern first appeared in 1996, and, although he is quick coming up with possible solutions to things, he is still naive of the real cruelties of the business world.
In the beginning, Dilbert and his companions were drawn purely by hand, and mailed off to the syndicate. Soon his work got more technology-related, and as of now, Scott Adams draws with no paper: he uses a Wacom Cintiq 21UX tablet/screen to draw on Adobe Photoshop. After, he emailed it to the syndicate. Scott Adams claimed that this technique is much more efficient than his previous ones on the Scott Adams Blog.
Guy-"Dilbert is like totally the best comic ever."

1. someone who works in a cubicle at a mind-numbing job.
2. a job that is good practice for being dead or in a coma.
Don't ask him about his job, he's a dilbert.

v. - To get screwed over by a dumb senior management decision.
They Dilberted me again! My boss promised a customer a feature that doesn't exist, and now I'll have to work nights and weekends to implement it.

A he/she who was thrown on the church steps at birth because it's parents didn't want it and it was a disgrace. It is always neglected.
I had a Dilbert and screamed, so I left it at the church.

When something happens to you in a work setting that's straight out of the comic strip "Dilbert," which is about a highly dysfunctional office environment.
- Man, Purchasing yelled at me today for using paper requisition forms and when I tried using the electronic ones, Accounting yelled at me. Then my boss yelled at me because I should have known that we've stopped using both paper and electronic requisition forms, except that Bob told me the boss said the opposite yesterday.
- Dude, you just got dilberted.
