Now here's a character who never knew when he was going to squeeze his own head.

Cube blading

The act of giving the cold shoulder to new office arrivals. Derived from Ice Cube and Shoulder Blade. Sometimes unintentional in offices where verbal communication is kept to a minimum as common practice.

Shooting party

The collection of individuals who take delight in pointing and clicking cameras at works social events in order to capture less flattering moments. They are the vocational equivalent of the paparazzi. Most prevalent during the Christmas festive period but can be rallied into action at other occasions. Far more dangerous in more recent years as the rise of social networking has provided a vehicle for unexpected delivery of unwanted / damaging imagery.

Toxic toucher

An individual who can bring a situation to a stand still as soon as they appear at the scene. 'The toxic toucher is here, the project is doomed'.
