Schmutzvering

Chicken stock 

(written куром на смех in Russian): when one does or says something so silly/stupid/ridiculous/idiotic- but never retargerous- that even a chicken at the local farm will make a laughing stock out of you.
Have you done anything chicken stock lately?

George Costanza 

Exactly who president Biden is supposed to play irl
Even if George Costanza was a fictional character on Seinfeld...well at least he did the opposite of what led him to screw up his life choices. Maybe Biden should do the opposite of everything he himself has done so far as president?

Bear policy 

It’s a company policy for what to do if something happens to an employee, for example they quit or get eaten by a bear.
What plans does your company have to preserve that person’s knowledge and have someone else at the company take on their role? Do they even know or care that a bear policy is important to have? And that in the uk a bear policy is also known as a bus policy?

Bear policy

because of a ridiculous personal phobia (such as being eaten by a bear or squashed by a city bus) or actually get eaten by a bear. (Hence the policy name).
Shit! What's to my company's bear policy? What plans do we have to preserve that person’s knowledge or do we have someone else at the company take on their role? And why is a bear policy called a bus policy in the UK?

Soc-med shaming 

When you tape another person's embarrassing/private/hilarious moments and then put the tape on soc-med to embarrass the person even more
My neighbor's dog escaped into my backyard. So when said neighbor showed up in my yard drunk, only in his underwear and galoshes, trying to get his dog to go back home...I taped the incident and turned it into soc-med shaming. It was hilarious.
