When you use Japan's post-war economic miracle to justify your poor planning and organization as being more efficient.
Dave: Bro, isn't your PhD thesis due next week? Shouldn't you have started it by now?
Henry: Nah dude, I'm using this new system where I do things at the last possible second. It's more efficient.
Dave: It just sounds like you suck at time management.
Henry: Nah dude, it's Lean Manufacturing. It's from Toyota or some shit.

to make up something in one's mind, to then begin to believe it as true, and to act upon it as if it had really happened, working one's self into an angered state
bob thought his 30-year-old daughter did not want to get married and have children. bob's daughter assured him that she and her long-term boyfriend/fiance had agreed to wait until they could be live in the same city and continue their careers. bob continues to harp on daughter to give up her high-profile career in her state and move to boyfriend's, even though daughter continues to explain that she's licensed to do her business in her home state, not in her boyfriend's. dad nods and says he understands, then goes right back to giving daughter advice that she should move to boyfriend's state. the conversation goes around and around until dad has created his own manufactured hysteria.

Rita Hayworth was the definitive 'Manufactured Celebrity ' of the 1940s. She had to undergo painful transformations that the film company liked.

A phrase used to describe any overhyped, zero-talent 'celebrity'. Usually rises to alleged stardom with the aid of sleazy sex tapes, obnoxious behaviour in public, leeching off someone else's celebrity status, petty crime or extremely questionable dress sense. Another sickening product of an entertainment industry hell-bent on pandering to a worthless generation of drooling, slack-jawed morons.

A web design company making unremarkable websites that conform to the trends of the Web 2.0 revolution. These style conventions would include but are not limited to: shiny, reflected buttons; subtle textures and drop-shadows; excessive use of gradient backgrounds; rounded corners; jQuery slides above the fold; and nonsensical cutesy, vector illustrations.
