a person who behaves in a sneaky manner to try and create favourable circumstances for themselves, or to cover their tracks, quite often at the expense of others. They use
weasel-words to try and make a story sound in their favour whilst never directly lying, usually by leaving out key details such as who actually did a piece of
work.
A fuckweasel will always avoid telling a direct lie in
case they are exposed, giving them plausible deniability or letting them fall back onto "a misunderstanding" excuse, such as;
Boss> "I spoke to Steven and he said he'd written that report you said you'd done"
Weasel> "Ah no, sorry you must have misunderstood, I just came over earlier to tell you it was completed."
The "
boss" in this
case has no comeback as the fuckweasel is technically correct, although it is clear what the inference was in the original conversation.
A good fuckweasel will pick his or her stories cleverly to lower the chance that a discovery will occur.
My manager asked me to stay back last
night and finish some content. When I came in this
morning I found out that he had sent an
email out early to the department saying it was finished and I spotted someone in the coffee point thanking him. I wasn't even mentioned. What a fuckweasel!
