To epibrate

It's becoming a real hype, I read somewhere that it's a generation thing, that generation X were hard workers, generation Y yadeyadeya...
Anyway, everywhere you look around, people are in fact epibrating. That's why they created a word for it. In Dutch that word is epibreren, in German it's called epibrieren, in Spanish they use the verb epibrir or sometimes epibrar. The origin of the word is found in no other country than The Netherlands, yeah, where else!? However, it was created there because they named an Island "Epibreren".

But the verb has a meaning, and I bet you've all been doing it, probably on a daily basis, but never really knew that there was a word for it, I didn't up until about 19 months ago, my boss discovered the existence of the word at the exact same time as I did.

To epibrate means (Lars, I bet you already know, because if you didn't already know the meaning, you'd have already looked it up, haven't you? ;) ): to be busy with doing absolutely nothing whilst looking like you are busy with your work. (this is a free translation from the Dutch meaning) f.i. you are working around on the work floor, just spending your time, but you want people to think you are busy with work, so you take a work related piece of paper (or just some papers with testfaxes on them) and walk around with that, if you start a conversation with your colleague that has absolutely nothing to do with work, you put the papers in between the two of you; look at them, go through them, point at them, while you continue the discussing when you'll meet at the pub or so.

If you knew this already, I'm really sorry that I've wasted your time. If you didn't, you now know that there is a word for what you have been doing the past years ;)
