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.
Def all over the business world. It’s more polite than saying “okay, let’s have a 5 minute break from this meeting so everyone can piss and get some more coffee”
I’ve never heard it in a business environment. Even as a IT engineer.
My friend manages a team of engineers and TAMs for massive companies that do stuff like make airplanes and manage phone networks and you know the names. They specifically produce a toolsuite and rent out pro-serv nerds to go to mammoth DCs and show people where they fucked up their cabling and double the throughput. Like, SO nerdy.
Bio break.
I don’t think I have to elaborate on that one.
My friend uses that all the time.
It means a pee break, a tea break, sometimes a ‘walk rover’ break. When meetings cross that 44-min mark, it’s break time.

This is a gamer term. I’ve never heard it in a business environment. Even as a IT engineer.

‘bio break’ is used a few times a day.
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.
I heard teachers use that term. 🤷♂️
Thats not so much a corpo thing as a gamer thing IMO.
“AFK, Bio break” is much quicker to type.
This is all you needed to type. Kids are too lazy to type the rest.
Quicker than “brb, bathroom”?
“brb”
I never heard a gamer use “bio break” lol
Uh. It’s been used for YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAARS in MMOs.
Maybe it’s an American thing, because give never heard it used on European servers
^ usually just “brb bio” or “afk bio”, or just “bio”.
Its seriously old, like, “woot” or “LFG” levels of old.
Makes sense! I haven’t played a real-time MMO since RuneScape was new! Haha
Huh. I literally only know this from the context of mmo games.
TIL where that is from
fuck. i hate this one the most.
just say “break.” let everyone else decide for themselves if it needs to be biological in nature.
