More Under-utilized Office Terms
“NO PRINTING--This is a bag build from items detailed on other worksheets”
“Whitespace is not allowed at this location.”
“I don’t want to randomize you, so let me know what’s on your to do list today.”
I swear they make these words up!

NO PRINTING is probably a security warning, similar to MICROSOFT CONFIDENTIAL.
Randomize is extremely common and means to distract.
My least favorite term used at Microsoft and other technical environments is "Valence" - from physics. The use is: "We are at a different valence than that, let's go to a higher level." It draws from the concept of electrons at different levels/distances (valences) from the atom core. It's a total mis-use and overload of the term and should be banned :-)

i had a two-week job at microsoft once transcribing a three day conference. i had absolutely no technical background at the time. but for a shite job it paid ok and i really needed the money and the hours were flexible. so i gave it my best shot and have never used ______ more in my life, before or since. "We need to upgrade the ____ dot _____ infrastructure to the ____ spec or else risk _____ing the ___ integration standard that ____used...."
