fuck up move up

An army term meaning promotion to a higher position after a senior employee screwed up an assignment. The rest of his career will be served with no more damage. Can be used by any large bureaucracy, but less so by corporations. Read the Peter Principle where an employee is promoted to his highest level of incompetence.

The minister responsible for the African "Ground Nut Scheme" boondoggle during the 1950s was given a promotion and a title. His new position required no real work, it was a classic case of fuck up move up.

TIGS

Totally Illegitimate Government Schools. Schools funded by taxpayers, referrerd to by government agencies as "public schools."

Buildings in which skulls full of mush are politically indoctrinated to be good little conformists of state doctrine.

Fifty per cent of my property taxes go to support TIGS --totally illegitimate government schools and their bureaucracy.
