deadbug


describes some people’s sleeping position, usually in the morning. the person asleep is typically face down with their arms and legs spread out as if they were a bug that has been smashed.
someone asks: “is joey still asleep?” reply: “yes, he is in a full deadbug”
a jovial term used in reference to a friend or co-worker whom is having or has had a retirement party at work. the party must have refreshments/snacks for the term to apply.

this term comes from the behavior seen when a bug dies on a sidewalk or other observable location. other bugs will notice the dead bug and stop by to tear a chunk off to eat. similarly, a co-worker is retiring (dying in a sense) and the other co-workers stop by to grab a snack/drink ( much like tearing off a chunk to eat). thus the retiree is the ‘dead bug’.

origin of this term is from an ibm site in rochester, mn.
hey, we got a dead bug in the break room!
great, i could go for a doughnut.
