1. To develop a "posse" or aquire "peeps."
2. To give "shout outs" and/or "props" to 1.
3. To become a "pundit", "maven", or "aficionado" of something.
4. To place "the onus" upon someone.
5. To get "my jollies."
6. To have "my druthers." (may be closely related to 5.)
7. To storm off in a huff at least once per quarter.
8. To "keep it real" in spite of 7.
I envision the satisfaction of a few of these rolled up into one event. In my fantasy, the corporate-wide announcement goes something like this:
"Please join me in congratulating Mr. inBOIL on his promotion to Master of Space and Time. He has been a programmer with us since 2003. He will assume his new duties beginning December 1st. Please note that going forward, The Onus will be on Mr. inBOIL, though he may place The Onus upon others at his discretion. He will have His Druthers on a weekly basis, and, as a bonus, he will be getting His Jollies each pay period. As per company policy, his benefits now include 4 floating Haughty Days and a quarterly Storming off in a Huff."
