The Japanese practice of sleeping on the job. It literally means, "sleeping while present". It is a way to show how committed to you are to working. In other words, you spend so much time working that you sleep too little and have to do Inemuri.
I meant to type "huh" into the IRC channel at work a couple years ago and gug is what came out. I'd probably have forgotten, but JT repeated it and the newly coined word lodged in my head. Urban Dictionary and HP Lovecraft seem to have existing meanings, but I reject them. There is no meaning, only Zul.
