This jargon is actually used where I work. Managers have offices where one wall is glass, and it's not uncommon for someone to lean against the glass while having a watercooler talk. It's not the managers who refer to it as a pressed fruit bowl. It's self-conscious developers who go out of their way to press against the glass while covering the behavior with discussions about code changes and operational work. Bravo!
After I created this comic, I noticed a great bit on Coding Horror about
New Programming Jargon. It includes phrases like Yoda Conditions, Ducks, Refuctoring, Jimmys, and Fear Driven Development. Great stuff.
Title: I had pants on!
Snarky: It is not acceptable to press your back side to the glass on a manager's office and ask him, "How do you like my pressed fruit bowl?"
