Peektodo<\/strong>: \/peek – to – do<\/em>\/ After the third peektodo, Bob knew he had to get some of his work done or he might get a stopnfire. Etymology:<\/em> Peek – To-do (similar to peekaboo) Created by:<\/em> Mrgoodtimes.<\/p>\n

Demployment<\/strong>: \/dem-ploy-ment<\/em>\/ Neil’s fixed stare at his computer screen had fooled his boss once again. He chuckled under his breath at this successful demployment strategy. Etymology:<\/em> employment (work, occupation) + deployment (to act strategically, particularly in battle) Created by:<\/em> CharlieB.<\/p>\n

Respiteful<\/strong>: \/re spyte full<\/em>\/ Lolly had a momentary feeling of being respiteful when her boss stormed past her desk, piled high with incomplete work. He ranted but did not look at her direction. This relief did not last long, as the boss had not had his glasses on. Once he donned them, he noticed Lolly’s desk and bolted straight for it. Luckily, she had snuck off for her lunch break just in time. And also luckily, he had a very short attention span. Etymology:<\/em> Respite (the act of reprieving; postponing or remitting punishment;a (temporary) relief from harm or discomfort) & Spiteful (the quality of threatening evil) <\/p>\n

Bigwigjig<\/strong>: \/bigwigjig<\/em>\/ Mary\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bigwigjig was short-lived as the company \u00e2\u20ac\u009dsuits\u00e2\u20ac\u009d passed by her desk without so much as a glance. She got all the attention she could stand later when her supervisor passed along the corporate concerns over productivity. Etymology:<\/em> bigwig (an important person)+ jig (a lively dance with leaping movements) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
