The verb 'to herbst' is derived from the name of an individual who was a short-standing but keen member of the moves team in a Southampton based company. He was famed for his love of barbequed food and his odd time recording skills. The original incarnation of the verb 'to herbst' was in relation to his accidental dropping of a metallic leg panel down the shaft of a lift, comically sliding from the desk to which it was formerly attached through the narrowest of gaps between the lift car and the floor landing whilst attempting to manoeuvre the desk out of the lift. From this day "to accidentally drop something down the shaft of a lift" is know known as "to herbst".
