May 2: problem saturation
A process by which Mainstream Media addresses an issue incessantly, building up to a sense of pending doom.

"Honey, why don't we hear any news about the drug cartels anymore?"
"That was last month's problem saturation, dear."

Blind transfer

When someone calls your office phone and you transfer them to a random number from a department you choose because you either can't find the correct number or you don't feel like looking it up.

Co-worker: Who just called?
