upstairs

People superior to you in your organization (where you work).

A: Hey Daniel, I have some issues here, with the Standard Operating Procedures. Look at the sections... eh... in SOP-11A.1.2. If we stick to that, we're gonna waste considerable time, which we don't have.

B: Oh Bob, I know all that bull. But it's way above my pay grade. You'd have to go upstairs to challenge that.

chatter

Refer to a piece of (or a segment of) electronic communications (could be of any kind - phone, encrypted radio, satellite, email, etc.) that contains sensitive information which may be of interest to the government or an intelligence agency.

Langley picked up some chatters this morning suggesting a deep sleeping terrorist cell -- right here in DC -- has just been activated. NSA is still analyzing the intel but we need to brief the President right NOW.
