desk-bombing

(名詞/不可數) 辦公桌轟炸 － 突然去找正坐在辦公桌前工作的人交談的行為，而不是打電話或寄電子郵件給他們；這被一些人視為不禮貌的行為。

引句：
On "desk-bombing", Trehan goes on: "One explanation is that workers grew accustomed to going solo during the lockdowns and, once back in-office, felt uncomfortable interacting with colleagues and clients face-to-face. But, if so, surely surprise Zoom calls are much the same thing. Those who'd rather be left alone in the office treat desk-bombing as if it was some kind of HR issue or breach of contract".

From a barn in Hertfordshire, the luxury detectives at Xupes can source whichever collectible designer accessory you desire – for a price … When luxury detective Reece Morgan tells me about sourcing [a handbag] and describes how "she" was so beautiful and her presence so "alluring", I think he must be talking about the highly demanding, wealthy customer who gets to use it.

ripflation

(名詞/不可數) 敲竹槓通膨 － 公司企業以通貨膨脹作為藉口並以敲顧客竹槓的方式大幅提高價格的情況。這個字是由 ripoff (敲竹槓) + inflation (通貨膨脹) 拼綴而成。

引句：
Ripflation, my coined term meaning ripoff inflation, is when the economic and supply chain conditions have significantly improved but various players in the supply chain keep prices elevated beyond necessity … In other words, ripflation uses inflation as its convenient cover story. Why are corporate profits objectively soaring in 2022 yet consumers are being hit so hard? Could it be ripflation? Could it be their stinginess and unwillingness to give back to a public that has been traumatized for 3 years?

graternity leave

(名詞/不可數) 育孫假 － 公司企業給予祖父或祖母級員工在家照顧新生孫子女的有薪假。Cf. maternity leave：產假。

But graternity leave is also acknowledgement of the generational ties that bind, that being a grandparent is an important role and that striking a life-work balance isn't the sole preserve of the young. Newborns … are notoriously short-term in outlook. Which is why grandma needs time off straight away to bring calm to chaos and grandad can do his bit by taking over the nursery drop-offs for older siblings.
