Phonee: A person who fakes or abuses a cell phone call to avoid or manipulate contact with other people.
Example:
Does that phonee expect me to believe he is closing an international business deal at Walmart?
Outproof: Immune to corporate outsourcing.
Example:
I had thought about becoming an engineer, but bartending is much more outproof.
Outproofing: To make career or educational choices based on the desire to avoid losing your job to workers in another country.
Example:
I’m outproofing my new position by learning to speak Mandarin.
Propertunity: The chance to move to an area with affordable housing.
Example:
Sure the job pays better, but with those housing prices there’s no propertunity.
You forgot (possibly on purpose!) Scadronized!!! Edited beyond the point of accuracy. We sure had fun with that one though I’m not sure fun is the most accurate word here!
Oh, there are lots of words yet to be defined. We will Nerd this language of our up real good!
I will occasionally become a phonee when I’m about to pass someone I think is going to ask me for money. That way I can ignore him (and his plight) with total impunity. Hey man… I’m on the phone.
And sometimes I say, “I just gave that guy over there 50 cents… go tell him I said to give you one of the quarters.”
