Eagersneezer<\/strong>: \/EE-gur-snee-zur<\/em>\/ Chad walked around the conference room introducing himself, alternately sneezing into his hand then offering to shake the hands of the guests. As the client backed away from Chad, everyone else knew the company was going to lose yet another account because Chad insisted on being such an eagersneezer who showed up no matter how contagious he might be. Etymology:<\/em> Eager beaver + Sneeze Created by:<\/em> TimTheEnchanter.<\/p>\n

Illdustrious<\/strong>: \/ill-dus-tree-us<\/em>\/ Phil was a snotbucket that overfloweth. Still, he came to work and was an illdustrious little bee that paid no attention to whom he sneezed on or on what he wiped his moist and slimy hands. Etymology:<\/em> ill, sick + industrious, hard-working Created by:<\/em> arrrteest.<\/p>\n

Stafflococky<\/strong>: \/-staf-luh-KOK-ee- (like ‘staphylococci’)<\/em>\/ George really believed that the office couldn’t function without him, so he came into work every day, even with a raging respiratory infection. He was so stafflococky that he infected everyone else in the office, and then he had to try to manage when they all called in sick. After several days of that, he threatened to resign because, he claimed, his co-workers were just a bunch of wimps. Also, he suspected that they were conspiring against him by using their sick days all at the same time, because they were jealous of his superior work ethic. Etymology:<\/em> Blend of: Staff (as in ‘office staff’) & Staphylococci – plural of staphylococcus, a variety of infectious bacteria (from Greek, staphyle “bunch of grapes” & modified Latin, coccus “spherical bacterium”) & Cocky – overly self-assertive or arrogant (from Old English, cocc; nickname for “one who strutted like a cock”) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n

Infecticide<\/strong>: \/in – FEKT – uh – side<\/em>\/ Germond seemed to care little for the fact that he committed infecticide among his clients and coworkers when he insisted on showing up at work even when extremely ill. Etymology:<\/em> Infect with satirical use of suffix -cide, to kill. Created by:<\/em> Mustang.<\/p>\n
