againstism

A group-think/political movement based solely on being against someone or something else.
Againstism is on full display during Trump's second term. The left's entire identity is based on being against Trump. So now we see gays for Islam, cheerleaders for fraud, and rioters for dangerous immigrants. What's next?

Social Media White Washer

Person in a company responsible for neutralizing complaints about the company on the internet and social media.
Companies who treat their employees and customers like shit need a Social Media White Washer to respond to all of the complaints online.

Unhappy employees will bitch about the company on Glassdoor, Indeed, etc. Unhappy customers will bitch about the company on Facebook, Yelp, Google Maps, etc.

A good Social Media White Washer can effectively erase these complaints with clever prose that confuses the reader and deflects attention elsewhere.

Whenever you see a company making heavy use of a Social Media White Washer in online reviews, you can rest assured that the company is shit.

hubrification

The process by which a founder or leader, following early success, develops inflated self-confidence that distorts judgment, leading to increasingly self-defeating decisions and eventual organizational decline or failure.
It was a great company at first, but hubrification of its founder led to its eventual demise.

Disney Adult

A sad single adult who has substituted Disney for reality. Disney Adults visit Disney theme parks at least once a year and they consider hugging a Disney Character to be the highest form of human achievement. Every conversation with a Disney Adult will devolve into a Disney movie or a trip they made to a Disney Park in the past.
There is nothing more tragic than a Disney Adult.
