Sandswicheroo: /sand switch er roo/ Hungry Harry made sure he got to the lunchroom early every day, before his co-workers arrived. His mission was to pull the old sandswicheroo trick. He always brought the same thing, a sandwich made of buttered white bread and swapped it for a more interesting concoction. He had previously enjoyed hummus and veggies on pita, pate on rye, hearty chicken salad, roast beef and provolone and his all-time favourite after holidays, turkey sandwiches. He’d swap then eat at his desk and although many complained, no one could prove he had done the old sandswicheroo once again. This was especially galling to his colleagues, who, like he, all worked at FBI Headquarters! Etymology: Sandwich (two (or more) slices of bread with a filling between them)& Switcheroo (trick where one thing is sneakliy swapped for another) Created by: Nosila.
Freepast: /free PAST/ Rob enjoyed his daily freepast of lunch tidbits that he snuck from the managerial refrigerator. He rationalized that since they were all above him in pay and power, not to mention self-importance, and didn’t bother to ever invite him to the daily morning briefings, that was a good time to help himself. Etymology: repast + free Created by: karenanne.

Refrigeraider: /rifrijÉ™rÄdÉ™r/ Nobody planned it. There was no discussion about it but on Monday everybody who had been a victim stocked the company **fridge** with revenge. Whether it was the yogurt laced with dish soap or the BLT (bacon, lettuce & toothpaste) the refrigeraider was exposed as he ran from the kitchen gagging. There were high-fives and cheering as the crew adjourned to the cafeteria to celebrate with food that was only one notch above what they had prepared. Etymology: refrigerator (an appliance or compartment that is artificially kept cool and used to store food and drink) + raider (surprise attacker) Created by: artr.
