Slackervise: /slak’-É™r-vÄ«z’/ Fred’s secretary Ethel had arrived seventy-seven seconds past her forty-minute allotted lunch period, so Fred made sure to slackervise even more diligently than usual to insure she made up the time at actual work before leaving for the evening; at her claimed typing speed of 110 wpm, that should work out to an extra 141.16667 words for the day. Etymology: ‘slacker,’ less taut; ‘vise,’ device for holding objects firmly in place. Created by: stache.

Nice word!
Clockants: /klok-ants/ Angie had been working late for the past few weeks without any complaint or second thought. That is, until she had to leave on time to get home to fix dinner for her fiance’s parents. She was clockant as she tip-toed past her boss’s office. Breathing a sigh of relief when she cleared the doorway, she looked up and he was right in front of her. “Leaving, are you?” he said in a snooty voice. She pretended not to hear him and slipped out the door. Etymology: clock, a device for noting the time + ant Created by: arrrteest.
