EARTH SLANG TERMS:

'Phone Home': The need to report back on an hourly basis to a superior or corporate executive. It is meant condescendingly, said like a reminder to an eight-year old.

'Scabhead''': Usually used in the phrase 'don't be a scabhead', it means doing something that is socially unacceptable such as belching during a formal meal at a corporate headquarters. Scabheads are people with skin lesions who wander in the wastelands of Earth, suffering from overexopsure to UV rays from the sun. The term is also used on Mars.''
