scuttlebutt \SKUHT-l-buht\, noun:
  1. A drinking fountain on a ship.
  2. A cask on a ship that contains the day's supply of drinking water.
  3. Informal. Gossip; rumor.
Scuttlebutt comes from scuttle, "a small opening" + butt, "a large cask" -- that is, a small hole cut into a cask or barrel to allow individual cups of water to be drawn out. The modern equivalent is the office water cooler, also a source of refreshment and gossip.
 
different hats
  • A tired metaphor for the different tasks a single person in a particular occupation is responsible for performing, primarily employed by stupid, annoying, pretentious people. Avoid these people if you can.
Annoying guy: In my particular line of work, I find that I must put on many different hats. I make copies, staple papers, and eat potato chips.

Selfie 
  • A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website. You can usually see the person's arm holding out the camera in which case you can clearly tell that this person does not have any friends to take pictures of them so they resort to Myspace to find internet friends and post pictures of themselves, taken by themselves. A selfie is usually accompanied by a kissy face or the individual looking in a direction that is not towards the camera.
