Self proclaimed marxists who may or may not have read any books on communism or economics in general who espouse vaguely utopian and poorly thought out ideas about what a 'fair' world should look like, but would never sully their hands with actual labor or handle firearms.
I'd never cared for any of the self-proclaimed Marxists I'd known back in college, but Patrick was different. One look at his teeth, and you could understand his crusade for universal health care. Both his glasses and his smile were held together with duct tape. Notable too was his willingness to engage in actual physical work. The communists I'd known in the past had always operated on the assumption that come the revolution, they'd be the ones lying around party headquarters with clipboards (clipboard communists) in their hands. They couldn't manage to wash a coffee mug, yet they'd been more than willing to criticize the detergent manufacturer.

An alternative collective noun for a shuffle of bureaucrats, specifically those with some sort of auditing task. Inspired by their flocking behaviour and use of clipboards as a work tool. Derogatory.
"Better sort out those paperclips, Bob; the Department of Clipboards is just getting out of the lift."

That Clipboard Monkey reckons she's of some sort of importance because she stands outside a nightclub all night with a list of names.

A derogatory term for the petty bureaucrat's badge of office. It is held close to the chest and carries papers with information that is jealously guarded. It allows access to sensitive areas and gives the bearer authority to pry into the work being done by others. Often used for micromanagement and the application of "bureaucracy gone mad".

Professional version of hold my beer. Words to say to a friend before willingly initiating a situation that holds the potential to end very well or very poorly.
I have a solution to this, but it's pretty ballsy and it kind of takes a crap on the current solution my boss put in place.
I'm going to do it. Ed, hold my clipboard.
