The Raindance Network, a group of writers who supports independent films in the U.K., offers a handful of slang that can make the script that you’re writing extra interesting. Right off the bat, it adds wit and banter to ordinary statements.

Here are some of my favorites.

ASSMOSIS.
The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.

404.
Someone who’s clueless. From the World Wide Web error message ‘404 Not Found’ meaning that the requested document could not be located.

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE.
The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

SALMON DAY.
The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.

BLAMESTORMING.
Sitting round in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

Here’s the complete list from Raindance.

Use this in your regular expressions and you’ll have people with the same level of understanding or intellect, smiling in amusement, and the 404s, just scratching their heads, wondering what’s funny. Lol.
