The group of individuals collectively responsible for the failure of a project despite the limited control, if any, the individuals have on its outcome. The group often includes individuals that were not assigned to work on the project, but were given official notice of the projects existence during a meeting, memo, or e-mail.
Commonly, such doomed projects are leaderless or have an ill-suited leader from the start. Ultimately, Executive Management hears of the failure and criticizes the entire group for their incompetence.

1. Putting down other people's ideas solely on the basis that they are not your own.
2. Ignoring a glaring problem to opine on a mundane detail on a subject for which you have no business being involved.

1. I did NOT come up with that solution, it is GARBAGE.
2. Man #1: Help me get these kids off the bridge before it falls?
Man #2: Did they use water based paint for the hand rails on that bridge? An oil based paint should have been used, it provides superior performance in an outdoor environment. What moron used a water based paint?
Man #1: Boothism 101.

A phrase used at the end of an unbelievably long and boring story to summarize what you have just heard, thereby giving you both the long version and the short version of the story. It is often confused with the phrase to make a long story short, however, the speaker using this phrase has no intention of making the story short.
I want to tell you all about my amazing day, after borrowing your car this morning I went to the supermarket. At the supermarket I bought organic vegetables, but was not able to buy organic tomatoes. After the supermarket, I went to the hardware store ... When I was leaving the football stadium, this black sports car came racing towards me and collided into me head-on. The police were called, but no one was injured. I estimate the damage to your car will cost at least $20,000 to repair. The long and the short, I totaled your car!!
