Bio break.
I don’t think I have to elaborate on that one.
This is a gamer term. I've never heard it in a business environment. Even as a IT engineer.
Lucky you, it’s all over my company.
I like it because it's so vague.
A nap is pretty biological! And nobody will ask why your bio break was an hour long.
Thats not so much a corpo thing as a gamer thing IMO.
"AFK, Bio break" is much quicker to type.
I never heard a gamer use "bio break" lol
Uh. It’s been used for YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAARS in MMOs.
^ usually just "brb bio" or "afk bio", or just "bio".
Its seriously old, like, "woot" or "LFG" levels of old.
Maybe it's an American thing, because give never heard it used on European servers
Makes sense! I haven't played a real-time MMO since RuneScape was new! Haha
Quicker than “brb, bathroom”?
I like “piss” and my char just stops moving
Yeah, hate this. To everyone saying it's not corporate: or certainly is. I did B2B work for around a hundred corps through the one I worked at and I heard it at probably 70% of them.
It's just the company trying to control literally every part of your life. Like who gives a shit what I do on my break? That, and you can't get an "extra" break later saying you have to pee.
fuck. i hate this one the most.
just say “break.” let everyone else decide for themselves if it needs to be biological in nature.
I work at a school and that one gets used sometimes. A lady that helps us develop programming said it quite often and my colleagues picked it up, I don’t use it myself.
I heard teachers use that term. 🤷♂️
I don’t use that, I usually just say I’m going to go grab some water but it’s better than saying “brb ima go take a wicked piss”. That being said, I’d respect the hell out of anyone who said that
I always used "gotta go drain the lizard."
