Funny, though I've never heard any of those terms in the office.

... to misuse the term Brain Fart.

You say "Squirt The Bird" around anyone I work with, and they'll be calling you a homo for the rest of your career.

something tells me most of these won't catch on :)

Some of them are pretty amusing though.

The more universally accepted definition of brainfart is : A spontaneous stupid (Stupid the noun, not stupid the adjective) usually accompanied by loss of train of thought and saying something fantastically stupid without realising it.

Your list seems to have it as the opposite.

They won't catch on, that list is 7 years old, first posted to usenet in june of 1997. Almost none of the terms have seen any use at all, and some of the definitions are quite dated. I mean, this list mentions Kevin Mitnik, he hasn't been relevant to anything for ages.

Oh wait, was Brain Fart in there?  I use that one myself.  I had a brain fart when I read that list, apparently.

Brain fart was there, but I think most of us agree that the definition given is the opposite of the one generally accepted.

Yeah, hadn't read it thoroughly.  The term we use for that is usually Core Dump, named after a unix process crash that produces a huge debug file for analysis.
