|
lions share
Majority of something, the biggest part, most, biggest. |
| |
liquid (design)
Design flows or stretches to a browser window no matter how it's resized to generally fill as much browser window as possible. This sometimes also refers to how a design "scales" or "degrades gracefully", but usually the former. |
| |
living document
A document with an infinite open window to make numerous revisions to tedious tasks with no apparent end in sight. |
| |
lock and load
Overheard recently very loudly over a speaker phone. Excitedly means "Okay, I'm ready!" or "Yeah, let's get together for that meeting now, chap." |
| |
lock in
Setting up the "parameters" and requirements of a project and determining the deadline, thereby sealing the fate of the poor grunt involved. Nice knowing you. Upper management and project managers are, of course, not "locked in" to anything, allowing them to disrupt and/or destroy said project on any whim. |
| |
lockdown
Stopped, paused, on hold. Example use, "We're having problems with the client. This project is on lockdown for now until we clear up the issues." |
| |
low-hanging fruit
Overused consulting term used to define problems that can be quickly remedied. |
| |
metric
An objective measurement of success or value. In the web world, metrics can be things like "retention," "revenue per unit time," or, in the negative sense of the word, "man-years." While corporations would like to have their employees and the public at large believe that their actions are all entirely based on a careful reading of measurable parameters, in reality many corporate actions are the result of a complex mix of bad science, wishful-thinking and the personal selfishness of managers. |
| |
micro site
A self-contained small website within a website, often with a promotional slant. Often cooked up by someone with a micro penis. |
| |
milestone
A date related to the level of completion for a project, always spoken of in the future tense. Since milestones are rarely predicted to fall anywhere near where they end up falling, the judgment of whether or not a milestone has been reached is more of an art than a science. |
| |
motherhood and apple pie
This apparently refers to overly-optimistic, flowery proclamations that a company shills out, as in "Sales are really strong right now and I'm not just talking motherhood and apple pie here".
Unfortunately, trying to negate corporate trash with more corporate trash does not cancel both out. |
| |
movers & shakers
Ass-kissers & dick-suckers (and I can't leave out back-stabbers). Am I not being clear enough? Now I'm not putting down people for working hard to get ahead (I'm in fact all for it and wish I had any reason to be motivated to do so at my own job). However, if management has singled you out as a "mover & a shacker" then you've been swallowing someone's knob. That's not up for debate. |
| |
multi-tasking
Doing more than one thing at a time. Aren't you special. |
| |
networking
Schmoozing, back-slapping, business card passing, hand shaking, seminar attending, ass-kissing, and the list goes on. |
| |
nose to the grindstone
Putting on the guise of being hardworking because "there's so much to do". Usually the position of the team player, and they'll let you know about it every second they "have their nose to the grindstone". They'll also let you know how early they got in and at what time - even though they only come in super early or stay super late like once per quarter, you'd think the company couldn't get along without them putting themselves out once every three months to show off to their superiors - who in fact can see right through this crap, but pat the little pet on their head and promise a promotion... some day. |
