Coffeebreakout
Created by: karenanne
Pronunciation: CAW fee BRAKE owt
Sentence: Each morning at 9:55, right before the boss gave his daily briefing to the high muckety-mucks, Joe managed to escape for his coffeebreakout. That way, he was able to avoid his coffee-loving co-workers, who were too busy lying low in case the boss was in a bad mood that day. As an added benefit, he escaped the notice of his "superiors," who would randomly assign "leadership opportunities," otherwise known as extra work, to whomever they stumbled upon on their way into the meeting. Sometimes Joe drank his coffee out back with Virginia, who liked to get away around that time for her smokebreakout.
Etymology: coffee break + breakout (escape from confinement)
