A Taiwanese Filibuster when a second or third party snatches the documents away from the principal signing them, creating a highly symbolic situation that is quite pointless because they can just print another set of documents to be signed in like 2 minutes. The symbolism is highly symbolic, thus creating the Taiwanese Filibuster. This term is based on that time in May, 2024 when Guo Guowen, a Member of the Taiwanese Parliament, swiftly snatched a legal Bill's documents and made a dramatic dash to prevent it from being passed, as shown on an online video.
Mr. PHBL: We are pleased to present you this law to be promulgated, Sir.
Sir: I am pleased to sign this.
Guo Guowen: I AM GOING TO SNATCH THESE DOCUMENTS IN PROTEST.
Mr. PHBL: *facepalm* oh golly what do we have here, a Taiwanese Filibuster. Toby, can you please re-print this 18 page document so Mr. Sir and us can sign it before another lunatic comes in here.
Sir: Huh.
Sir: I am pleased to sign this.
Guo Guowen: I AM GOING TO SNATCH THESE DOCUMENTS IN PROTEST.

Just like the famous premier of Alberta, showing up to work extremely hung over and only able to complete the minimum required as a result of the previous night's bender.
Cornelius: "Cleatus looks like death and he is sure is stacking those pallets slowly"
Carlton: "That is because he is Ralph Klein-ing it today".

Named after a radical leftist political party in Canada that hates budgets and loves taking it easy, the NDP. An NDP lunch is an early-starting and inordinately lengthy lunch period taken by the NDP's core supporters: government, non-profit, make-work, and NGO workers who have lots of free time during normal work hours.
An NDP lunch will start before 11:30am and can end no earlier than 1:45pm.
The NDP lunch, previously a luxury reserved only for managerial level employees, became accessible to all level of worker and social assistance beneficiary when work from home was imposed during the Rona. The popularity of the NDP lunch is one of the many reasons why government work-from-home employees are violently resisting showing up to a workplace three (3) days a week where NDP lunches are not tolerated.

Liam: "Hey comrade let's go for lunch! I don't have meetings until 2."
Cornelius: "Bro I am not your comrade, it's 10:45 am, and I am not a work from home government worker. I cannot take an NDP lunch on a work day which for me is 6 days a week because the NDP keeps taxing my business."
