VERBOTICISMS:<\/strong> (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Taskmasker<\/strong>: \/task-mass-kur<\/em>\/ Phil was a professional taskmasker; I don’t know how he was able to look busy all the time when everyone knew he had absolutely nothing to do. Etymology:<\/em> taskmaster, mask Created by:<\/em> purpleartichokes.<\/font><\/p>\n

Workastallic<\/strong>: \/wurk-a-stahl-ik<\/em>\/ Jim was such a workastallic that, while giving the impression that he never let go of a project, he was in fact seriously stalling (and checking out verbotomy on the side) Etymology:<\/em> workaholic + stall Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/font><\/p>\n

Exertsham<\/strong>: \/exert-sham<\/em>\/ The illusion of working is an age old problem and is also known as walking the dog, a government job, or exertsham. Etymology:<\/em> exertion + sham Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/font><\/p>\n

Slackofflage<\/strong>: \/-\u00cb\u02c6sl\u00c3\u00a6k\u00c9\u2122\u00cb\u0152fl\u00c9\u201d\u00ca\u2019-<\/em>\/ The key to successful slackofflage is an untidy workspace; if your boss can identify each paper on your desk and window on your computer screen, then you’ve already lost. Etymology:<\/em> From “slack off” + “camouflage” Created by:<\/em> ErWenn.<\/font><\/p>\n
