(1). Laying off employees to balance the budget (see also RIF-ed).

Right-Sizing
RANDOM LINGO
Behind the Eight Ball
(1). To be under intense pressure.
“Dude, Mike is really behind the eight ball this week. He’s got three client meetings, two presentations and a date with the hot chick in Accounting who thinks he’s the V.P. in charge of Marketing…which he’s not.”
Wiff Waff
(1). Seemingly endless banter back-and-forth between two people at a meeting. With 10 other people in the room. Sitting quietly, checking their blackberries, awkwardly waiting for it to be over.
“Can you believe that ridiculous wiff waff between Sharon and Jim during the 9:30 call this morning? I think they’re sleeping together. Do you think they’re sleeping together? I totally think they’re sleeping together.”
Props to Jan for the submission.
