(Caution, one word near the end could be considered naughty)
Many people can relate to too much overtime at work. The hours and days go by and there is no time to get anything else done. It was at one of these times that I began saying "Sleep, Eat, Work, that's all I have time for", when asked how I was doing. If you knew my geeky friends, you knew that a shorthand term for it was just around the corner.
"SEW?"
"SEW" (I replied)
The next modified version, it seemed, was only a matter of time.
Sleep, Eat, Work, Eliminate, and then Repeat.
SEWER - noun: misfortune resulting in lost effort or money.
"SEWER?"
"SEWER!" (I replied)
