APPEN D I X Skyve: Doing anything but that which you are supposed to be doing during a specific time frame. Pretending to do something for which you are being payed for, such as a your job, but instead doing other things (like having a laugh, phoning your friends, hiding from your boss, surfing the internet, playing computer games, having a sly cigarette) that are totally unrelated or unconected to that which is within your job description. Taking 2 hours for lunch instead of 1 and getting a collegue to cover for you. Leaving work earlier than you should, and hoping your boss doesn't notice. Calling in sick to work, then going out for an all day pub crawl. (By Siona Beht, www.urbandictionary.com, June 22, 2004) Menu: A great deity who hath descended upon our forum. We must pay tribute or almighty Menu will crush us! Praise be to Menu. (www.urbandictionary.com, 2002) Couch Potato: A lazy person who does nothing but sit on the couch and watch television(see also sofa spud) Please don't lie around like a couch potato. Get up and do something productive. (By Light Joker, www.urbandictionary.com, January 18, 2005) The Gibberish Generator: http://thinkzone.wlonk.com/
