Beerboarding... interrogating a friend while plying them with beer Nonversation... those pointless and worthless conversations you have with acquaintances Cellfish... being inconsiderate to others by always talking on your mobile Errorist... someone who deliberately makes errors to annoy people Addictionary... the growing list of made-up words Bellignorant... talking aggressively about something you don’t actually know anything about Jobfuscate... the art of making your job appear far more complex and difficult than it actually is I also have a t-shirt with the dictionary entry for Testiculating... making expressive gestures while talking bollox.
