Is anyone going to explain exactly what pencil whipping is? Sounds like just making shite up for a report but would like clarification.

It’s some gay initiation rite that operators in Louisiana and a Texas do.

It's also called padding numbers. Say you're supposed check readings on some gauges every hour. They are always the same so you get lazy and skip your hourly gauge check and write in the readings based on the history. It's laziness and low character.

It’s fudging the numbers. Let’s say you have to run pH samples every shift. You’ve done that sample hundreds of times, thousands of time even, and it’s always between an 8 and 9. You decide to stop actually running a sample and just start putting a number between 8 and 9. That’s pencil whipping.
