Beepilepsy, Cube Farm, and Mouse Potato: New Office Slang

Slang comes and slang goes. (Cool, daddy-0!) Some interesting terms have popped up recently in the office world. Sometimes called geek speak, sometimes called New Office Slang, the terms have been floating around the internet of late.

Here are a few choice examples:

• Beepilepsy -- the strange expression someone gets when his or her cell phone goes off while the person is speaking.
• Cube Farm-- a large office composed of many cubicles.
• Mouse Potato -- the online generation's answer to the couch potato
• Treeware -- documentation or other printed material
• Ohnosecond -- the split second in which you realize you've made a terrible mistake.
