New System Admin Words

From a newsletter I recently received. Enjoy

• BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a server went down, and who was responsible.
• SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
• CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.
• MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato.
• STRESS PUPPY: An admin who seems to thrive on being stressed out, whiney, and complains about stupid users all day.
• SWIPEOUT: An access card that has been rendered useless because the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use.
• PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
• 404: A completely clueless end-user.
• OHNOSECOND: That fraction of time after hitting Enter, in which you realize that you've just permanently erased a big database.
• INOCULATTE: Taking coffee intravenously when you are pulling an all-nighter getting that database online from the backup tapes.
• OSTEOPORNOSIS: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit).
