Psychojefe
Created by: arrrteest
Pronunciation: si-ko-heff-ay
Sentence: Mark knew that working at Januscorp seemed a bit dubious, not knowing what face to put on when going to work.

However, once he got to know her, he could not figure out if she was a raving lunatic or moody creative type. He would often wonder if she would be a sane collaborative boss when he walked in, or the the "Pyschojeffe from Hell."
Etymology: Psycho, crazy +Jefe, Span. boss
