    Worst thing that a few of us say out in the open when we're having a bad day is "FTS. It's FTS hour!"

    FTS = F**k This S**T.

    SOB is School of Business for my job. "I'm heading over to talk to the SOB dean"

    We also have an internal sort of social media website where coworkers can connect and share documents and ask questions. We can upload our resumes or write a profile, which is called a V-card. So everyone's page has a button that says "Download my V-card." I know a lot of law firms and other businesses also do this, but it still makes me cringe!

    When we get really frustrated with things we'll say "This thing is gonna have me speaking Canadian." This is a reference to our elderly Canadian accountant who drops F bombs and SH words on a daily.

    At my work we have "cooties". Most of the time cooties are bad things, but these derived from someone botching the word "kudos". THerefore, to give "cooties" to someone is a huge compliment!

    This job and my last one both had TPS reports (okay not really immature, but funny movie reference that most seem oblivious to). One job was Test Pilot school reports and the other is total production system report.

    there are also signs by the vertical heat treat ( I work at a metal manufacturer) that say no swimming or fishing and a safety pole that looks remarkably like a minion.

    I work at a place that displays rockets. My boss came in once to ask me to give a tour. When I asked her what she wanted me to cover, her response was, "Oh, you know... just point out all of the [male genitalia] shaped things hanging from the ceiling and tell them why they were important."

    We have a POS (Point of sale) system and a PITA (pain in the A) (a girl in the office), I got a folder on my desk once labeled STD right before I left on maternity leave, we have an A**hole tax, and RTFM (read the f****ing manual). I work at a car dealership/repair facility. COD (cash on delivery). I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them.
