New word of the day (and other delightful linguistic discoveries)

A friend sent me this and I though it was too funny not to post

Upon hearing about our latest receptionist issue at work (the one thing we can count on in my office), my husband coined a great new term that I will now integrate into my daily parlance.

"Drama Leave"

I have submitted the term to Urban Dictionary under the name of ***** as follows---

Drama Leave:

Time off work to address---or more likely revel in---the train wreck of your life. You're not sick, it's not a vacation, and it's not really an emergency except in your own head.

Example:

"I heard the receptionist arguing with someone on her cell last night, and she's a no show, no call today. I guess she's taking drama leave."
