I can't wait until they launch the toilet office because really taking 15 minutes away from work to go to the bathroom is a big waste.

John Morse, president and publisher of Merriam-Webster Inc noted that the term “earliest record of use is from 2005, but it seems to have exploded into popular use in 2007."
