     [ "director" ]

    1: A mythical creature known to occasionally visit corporate offices. Directors thrive upon the professionalism and professional attire of all employees of the offices, and as such, several notices are issued in advance of a director's arrival for people to be on their best behavior. Directors, however, are quite elusive - despite an employee's best behavior and finest dress, these efforts are often in vain, as directors do not desire to go slumming with the commonfolk. A director's smile is known to result in rapid career advancement. Ironically, the most common instance of a director's smile is from employee termination.

      * e.g.,  ... There is a director coming to the office. Business casual is still appropriate, but please consider dressing in your most professional business casual attire. (i.e. shirts tucked in, sleeves not rolled up, consider shoe choice)

    1: Barefoot fags from California who work for porno companies.

      * e.g.,  ... Man, that guy is such a director! Let's go get some In n Out. 

     [ "directored" ]

    1: The new brand for everything a director could want...and more!

     [ "Director" ]

    1: The one who gets the blame if anything they create goes tits up, even when it's not their fault.

     [ "directoritis" ]

    1: Directoritis is a similiar condition such as "senioritis" "retire-itis" and just simple food itis. However, directoritis pertains to movie directors. The disease is most commonly acquired after the Oscars. Since the directors are loving their little gold oscar, they no longer make good movies, resulting in movie goers having to settle for less "quality" movies. This time of the year is usually a month or two after the oscars and is the christmas for Blockbuster economically. Soon after, the disease is cured and we can once again...see good movies.

      * e.g.,  ... Bill: Hey! Let's see a movie tonight!

     [ "Band Director" ]

    1: One who conducts a middle/high school or college band. Yes it's true they like to tell lame jokes but most band kids like that weird humor anyway. Give em a break. Some of these directors are serious to the point of craziness. Band directors really try and are usually nice people, unless they don't give a shit about the band. Then they just suck. Very busy these band directors are.

      * e.g.,  ... The trumpet section was up the band director's ass but he helped them with their rhythms and they thanked him. The band director was near death listening to the 20 piccolos but gathered the patience to get them all in tune. My band director is awesome- he can be a real nazi on the field when he has to, and the next minute he's your bff. 

     [ "band director" ]

      * e.g.,  ... "That band director, Mr.Minick, is a really cool guy!"
