[Newo]

Vortex (n.): A large circle of desks assembled on day one of build season to house the CAD and code teams. Synonymous with "black hole", both in inward attractive force and in relativistic time dilation; "Thou who enter the vortex shall not emerge from its depths until the temporal substance which fuels it has evaporated after 6-9 weeks."

Mating (v.): A term used to describe a relationship I will add between the frontal flat planar surface of my palm with your curved facial face when you make this joke for the hundredth time while I'm stuck in the vortex with you. See Vortex.
