Similar to a fire alarm, a beak alarm is often sounded in large financial institutions within the city. In order to increase productivity during the inevitable mid-afternoon slump, when sounded, employees are encouraged to stop what they are doing and snort a line of company beak.
*Alarm sounds*
PA system: "Please place yourself on do not disturb and have a line of beak ASAP."
Cal: "Quick lad it's the fucking beak alarm."
Andy: "Ahhhhh. I bloody that thing."
