Oddnipotent Anachronym

So, my co-workers have been prolific in the neologism department lately. Two additions gave me such delight, that I felt obliged to share them.

Overheard in a meeting: One person looked at an entry in a document and asked: "What does that abbreviation mean?" Another responded: "Oh, that's an anachronym," by which he meant that we no longer use that abbreviation. I love it!

Overheard in the galley kitchen: "That guy is so strange, he's practically oddnipotent!" Beautiful.

I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.
