Pronunciation: me/zurp

Sentence: After all, this team effort is really about me. I'm the one who needs to get ahead because I deserve to and some of the input was mine. It's certainly fair to me to mesurp the ideas and credit for the good of the whole group. Because if I get ahead the whole group benefits. It would be shameful and dishonest of me not to step forward and claim all the accolades because if no one claims them, then they would just go to waste. I would be truly letting the group and myself down.

Etymology: me + usurp (seize another's place, authority, or possession wrongfully)

Pronunciation: woim

Sentence: Mike's boss is such a woim. In private he will tell him what a wonderful worker he is, what wonderful ideas he has created for the company. In public he presents the ideas as completely original and uniquely his own. If something is not received with open arms or fails for some reason, he is also very good at woiming his way out by announcing the idea's originator. What Mr. Steal-your-thunder doesn't get is that the ideas that fail are the result of his not really understanding them and mismanaging their execution. Perhaps some day the woim will turn.

Etymology: What's Ours Is Mine (acronym). Sounds like worm (a weak or despicable person) from Jersey

Sentence: Patrick was walking by the conference room when he happened to see one of the slides he'd created for the team's presentation from last week being shown on the screen, so he stopped and peeked in. Their proposal had been a big hit with the customer, but now Aaron, his coworker, was going over their presentation with the division manager and, raverobber that he is, Aaron was taking credit for the entire proposal, and for single-handedly winning the new account.

Etymology: Play on the word 'Graverobber'; Rave - extravagantly flattering or enthusiastic, e.g. 'rave reviews of a new play' (from Old French, raver "showing signs of madness or delirium) + Robber - one who steals; a thief (from Old High German, roubon "to rob")
