The delusional bravado of undershooting the mark while flexing like a hall-of-famer—fueled by confidence that outstrips competence 3:1. Favorite move: slapping “security” on everything like a get-out-of-jail-free card, whether the threat’s real or just a turf moat.

1. Someone who books endless “quick syncs” to ask you what you’re doing, then immediately reports your work as their progress to look important. Basically, a human status dashboard that charges per meeting.
