Jarvis: Why on earth would you buy airplane tickets when we've got cheap train tickets booked and ready to go see the Super Bowl?
Daniel: Relax dude! Airplane tickets are just-in-casers. Remember what happened last year? I don't want train delays causing us to miss half the Super Bowl game ever again.
Nora: You brought both your laptop and the iPad to the business meeting!?! You're not gonna need both!
Bethany: I only brought the iPad as a just-in-caser. I'll be taking notes on the laptop.

Get the Just-In-Caser mug.Dave: So, what do you think of React?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: OK, Golang?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: What about Node?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: Wow! Are there any technologies that are not BIFI by the estimation of software architects?!!
Tim: All technologies that fit a pro & con trade-off analysis! Unfortunately, none of the technologies you mentioned make the cut if a software architect were to put two and two together. Many wannabes these days don't even think about why they are applying a technology. They just monkey see monkey do!
Matthew: Tim, the software architect, told me that React is BIFI, but I don’t understand why?!!
Joe: React assumes a dumb audience to start, among many other reasons.
Matthew: Are you suggesting they assume I am dumb if I were to use React?
Joe: Exactly! For example, bidirectional (two-way) data-binding has been a staple in desktop application GUI development for decades, but React refuses to support it because they say most developers are too dumb to reason about it successfully.
Matthew: What’s wrong with that!? They’re making things more easy for us, no!?
Joe: I doubt any beginner would call React’s style of code easy, so I’m not sure they are anywhere near the target they claimed they were aiming at if that’s what you’re asking.
Matthew: Are you suggesting the makers of React themselves are dumb too?!!
Joe: Now, you’re truly getting to the bottom of why Tim used the term BIFI about them. React is literally By Idiots For Idiots!

Get the BIFI mug.Billy: So, I visit this new social media website claiming to be all about free speech, and the next thing you know, I am reported for saying Trump Americans are better than others. What's wrong with them!?! Are they too weak to hear the truth!?! And, here's the kicker! I ask the admins why I was reported, and they respond; it's because I said something that hurt someone's feelings. What's wrong with them!?! Just deny the report and say it's because "We defend free speech!" It's that simple!
Jeff: Must be one of those Gen Y websites. This generation is completely befaggotted. Even if you say Hi to them, they get offended.
Carl: I went to this club Hooligans we used to dance at when we were in college.
Mark: Oh yeah!? Saw any hot chics there?
Carl: Not exactly. I saw a dude acting like other dudes were women. I don't know whatever happened to that club! It's become befaggotted!
Mark: Must be one of those stupid policies about welcoming everyone regardless of rape inclinations (aka "sexual orientations").
