A user-generated dictionary for SAPanese, the unique language of SAPsters

The community (or ecosystem) of SAP users, employees and partners has developed "a rich vernacular," laden with SAPorific acronyms unique ot the SAP environment. Now, the community is developing a user-generated dictionary for SAPanese. Feel free to add your own entries -- either for real SAP lingo or for situations where "there oughta be a word" -- because so far the dictionary is pretty skimpy. Some examples:

abapit: (verb) To make something better using ABAP. Usage: "This program simply isn't working properly; we should abapit instead!"

SAP: (noun) A humongous generator of three- and four-letter acronyms. Started in Germany and spread its tentacles to the Americas, Asia and Africa.

sapanese: (noun) The obscure language spoken by SAP employees, partners and user communities.
