Copy-warm

The warmth of a piece of paper right after being taken out of a copying machine or laser printer

I just love that copy-warm feeling!

sharp copy

"Sharp copy" is the phrase sometimes used by photographers to say that the image quality (sharpness in particular) of this particular version of the lens is good. When something is mass-produced, designs are made which define the ideal size, along with the upper and lower limits for tolerance away from this ideal size, for every piece (every screw, hole, seal, etc.) in the final product. When it comes to making a lens, these variances apply to the glass as well as the metal housing. Sometimes a lens which might pass quality inspection at the factory might perform worse than another lens that came off the same production line at a different time.

"This is a pristine, sharp copy of the Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS USM Lens; it is flawless."

Ledge copy

Written material (a few sentences or an entire paragraph) that has questionable worth in the larger scheme of the story, article, or blog post. Figuratively, the copy is standing on the ledge wondering whether it should "take the leap" or continue on with its existence.

"David thinks he is a great writer, but his writing rambles on and on with meaningless ledge copy. He should just get to the point."

Human Copying Machine

A highly trained person that wastes their time having to copy the same data across multiple systems, because:
1. the systems are not connected
2. people refuse to look at the single source of truth and want it in the specific place they look.

The human copying machine becomes frustrated at the waste of time and energy copy/pasting the same data/story when the priority should be focused on helping the customer.
