Fearox: /feer rox/ Xena,the Printses Warrior, lived in eternal fearox that all her electronic files would be wiped out, so she printed out copies of everything that came through her computer. She requested a bigger office but was miffed when her boss refused. Xena’s argument that she needed more storage space for her print-outs fell on deaf ears. Her boss cited paper costs and space shortage as reasons to reduce her paper files. Her viewpoint was further proven when a fire started in the piles of paper Xena had stored behind her desk. Thanks to her, now none of them has any records, or jobs either! Etymology: Fear (paranoia;afraid) & Xerox (duplicator that copies graphic matter by the action of light on an electrically charged photoconductive insulating surface in which the latent image is developed with a resinous powder)
