Humphry: Heard of this new website, Quora?
Benjamin: Sounds like the name of a terrorist.
Humphry: No, it's a website where you ask other people questions, and they answer them.
Benjamin: Ahh, so a clone of Yahoo! Answers!?!
Humphry: Pretty much, but they try to provide a nicer user interface.
A few moments of clickety clackety and the conversation continues...
Humphry: So, what do you think?
Benjamin: BIFI
Humphry: Is that a compliment? Do you mean beefy as in filled with features to the brim?
Benjamin: No, BIFI as in By Idiots For Idiots. Have you taken a closer look at any of the questions or answers? The answers are all wrong and written by idiots. The questions are all dumb and written by even bigger idiots. Thus, BIFI, By Idiots For Idiots!

Get the BIFI mug.Dave: So, what do you think of React?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: OK, Golang?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: What about Node?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: Wow! Are there any technologies that are not BIFI by the estimation of software architects?!!
Tim: All technologies that fit a pro & con trade-off analysis! Unfortunately, none of the technologies you mentioned make the cut if a software architect were to put two and two together. Many wannabes these days don't even think about why they are applying a technology. They just monkey see monkey do!
Matthew: Tim, the software architect, told me that React is BIFI, but I don’t understand why?!!
Joe: React assumes a dumb audience to start, among many other reasons.
Matthew: Are you suggesting they assume I am dumb if I were to use React?
Joe: Exactly! For example, bidirectional (two-way) data-binding has been a staple in desktop application GUI development for decades, but React refuses to support it because they say most developers are too dumb to reason about it successfully.
Matthew: What’s wrong with that!? They’re making things more easy for us, no!?
Joe: I doubt any beginner would call React’s style of code easy, so I’m not sure they are anywhere near the target they claimed they were aiming at if that’s what you’re asking.
Matthew: Are you suggesting the makers of React themselves are dumb too?!!
Joe: Now, you’re truly getting to the bottom of why Tim used the term BIFI about them. React is literally By Idiots For Idiots!

Get the BIFI mug.A cooler more dismissive way of saying mediocre, which rhymes with meteorite.
It is also a variation of inferiorite.

Tom: IT folks saved some dough by installing laptop memory not made in the USA. We had nothing but crashes and trouble as a result.
Kenny: Yeah, management oughta fire them. They're nothing but a bunch of mediocrites.
Lisa: Those reports are bugging me. Every time I finish one, my boss asks me for two more. It's been driving me insane all week long.
Mary: Have you been using a reporting tool?
Lisa: Spreadsheets... nothing more! Management isn't willing to shell out any money for a reporting package.
Mary: How about you purchase one with money from your own salary? It would save you quite some time and trouble at work after all.
Lisa: I thought about it. I could barely keep up with my rent and kids. You want me to pay for professional reporting software with my own money too? Forget about it.
Mary: That's what you get for working for a bunch of mediocrites. It's time to step up and quit to join a better company that actually deserves you.

Get the Mediocrite mug.Someone who is fake and thinks honesty is lame. As such, they avoid honesty at all costs and like to always project a fake image of themselves instead that gives a sense of importance without truly being important. Obviously, other fakesters eat it up without a clue. That is because not all fakesters are even aware they are fakesters. Some have become that way since they were very little by copying older fakesters they thought were fun at the time without thinking. Anyways, fakesters are known as people who talk a lot without doing much. Some love the fake important image they project due to how much fun it seems, but when things get serious, people always realize it in the end and don't truly rely on them with anything or give them any important jobs. Fakesters often serve as clowns in high school who amount to nothing after they graduate.
Monica: And, here is the bed room. As you can see it's got a beautiful view of the city just like the apartment rental ad shows.
Dorothy: All I can see is the dirty back alley and some garbage truck containers.
Monica: No, you gotta look farther! See, that's a boutique clothing store right there!
Dorothy: Seeing a clothing store at the end of a very long and dirty alley doesn't count as city view. You're nothing but a fakester!

Get the fakester mug.Josh: This barista messed up my coffee again... I told him many times, no whipped cream, but he won't listen. The coffee is disgusting. I'm done with Starfucks.
Dave: Must be one of them fagidiots who add whipped cream to hint to customers they'd like their whipped cream in their mouth

Get the Fagidiot mug.Bobby: I keep following answers on StackOverflow, but the bug keeps getting worse and worse! Too bad, I forgot to commit my code to Git. I'm screwed!
Miles: Didn't I tell you StackOverflow is BLB??! Just get help from one of the seniors in the other team! It's that simple!.

Get the BLB mug.Steven: Hey Tom, what on earth is this thing doing at your home?
Tom: It's a fire pit. You've never seen one before?
Steven: Oh, I have seen many, but usually at the ski resort or in the woods
Tom: Yeah, I'm trying to pursue caveman unevolvism. That is relying on real wood and fire at home instead of central air-conditioning
