Brain dump: Getting down information that's in your head - whether to handover a job to someone or brainstorm for new ideas.
Value-add: The idea or product or person is a good thing for the company.
Up-selling: Selling something to a client or customer that they don't really need.
Take it off-line: Talk amongst yourself about it later.

Cubicled: To get demoted
Circle back: Get back to me.
Drink from the fire-host: To learn as much as possible about the subject in only a short period of time (this used to be called "getting up to speed")
