Delegator Extraordinaire

Delegator Extraordinaire refer to lazy or poor leader that delegates their leadership responsibilities to their competent employees. In turn, the DE accepts fully credit for for everyone's hard work and credits no one but themselves.
The leader of the department: Team: I'm far to busy to deal the semantics the office requires for a meeting set up. Leader to Subordinate: You are now in charge of the set up of the meeting. Leader: Thank you all for showing up to MY meeting let 's begin. Subordinate: (under her/his breath) What a Delegator Extraordinaire she/he just took complete credit for my hard work!

Ordinary Extraordinary Theory

A theory stating that extraordinary evidence, even when proven true and confirmed beyond reasonable doubt, is systematically treated as ordinary, minimized, excluded, or ignored in the short and medium term. Where Normal Anomaly Theory addresses anomalies (exceptions to patterns), Ordinary Extraordinary Theory addresses evidence that should be transformative—findings that should change how we understand the world but are instead treated as mundane, unremarkable, or irrelevant. The theory explains why genuinely extraordinary discoveries often receive yawns rather than celebrations, why journalists bury leads that should be front-page news, why policymakers ignore evidence that should reshape policy. The extraordinary is made ordinary through a thousand small acts of dismissal: it's not that exciting, it's just one study, we already knew that, it won't change anything. By the time the evidence can no longer be ignored, its transformative potential has been blunted by decades of being treated as nothing special.
Example: "The study should have revolutionized the field—but Ordinary Extraordinary Theory meant it was published, cited a few times, and then quietly forgotten, its implications too disruptive to actually absorb."

douche nozzle extraordinaire 

A description of a guy who is never wrong, full of shit, self absorbed,better than anyone who ever existed and just an overall ass hole. Aka Dan Telese
I know this douche nozzle extraordinaire, he is so annoying I'd rather get my balls stomped on by an elephant than be in the same room with him.

What makes you extraordinary 

Nothing. You're all just worthless shit. I don't have to do or be anything to be better than all of you.
Hym "What makes you extraordinary? Welp... Not a worthless YouTube parasite.... Not a retard... Not a woman... It don't take much but it's already too late for some of you. You should kill yourselves immediately. Or kill some kids. Just no that no one will care if you kill yourself and if you kill the kids at least one person will be happy about it."

Theory of the Extraordinary Spectrum

The theory that extraordinariness exists on a spectrum, not as a binary opposite of ordinary. The Extraordinary Spectrum recognizes that phenomena can be extraordinary in different ways, to different degrees, along different dimensions. A miracle is extraordinary in one way; a once-in-a-lifetime event is extraordinary in another; a unprecedented scientific discovery is extraordinary in yet another. The spectrum allows for distinguishing between kinds and degrees of extraordinariness, for recognizing that the boundary between ordinary and extraordinary is not a line but a zone. The theory calls for mapping where phenomena fall on multiple axes of extraordinariness.
Example: "He called everything unusual 'extraordinary.' The Theory of the Extraordinary Spectrum showed why that was crude: a once-in-a-decade event was extraordinary, but differently than a once-in-history event. The spectrum let him distinguish, not just lump."

Ideo-ordinary and Ideo-extraordinary

Subcategories within the theory of the constructed ordinary and extraordinary, referring specifically to how ideology shapes perceptions of what is normal and what is deviant. Ideo-ordinary describes those beliefs, practices, and identities that a given ideology naturalizes as common sense, unremarkable, or universal (e.g., individualism, wage labor, nuclear family). Ideo-extraordinary describes those that are marked as exotic, pathological, or exceptional (e.g., collective living, barter economies, polyamory). The terms are used to critique how ideologies render their own contingent arrangements as inevitable and marginalize alternatives as strange.
Ideo-ordinary and Ideo-extraordinary *Example: "Under capitalist ideo-ordinary, working 40 hours a week for a salary is just 'how things work,' while a worker-owned cooperative is ideo-extraordinary—treated as a curious experiment, not a serious option."*

The 16 Axes of the Extraordinary Spectrum

An expanded framework adding eight dimensions for more nuanced extraordinariness evaluation. The additional axes include: 9) Personal Significance (how it affects individuals), 10) Collective Memory (whether it will be remembered), 11) Symbolic Power (what it symbolizes), 12) Media Attention (how much coverage it gets), 13) Scientific Interest (how much scientists study it), 14) Mythic Potential (whether it becomes myth), 15) Temporal Reach (how long its effects last), and 16) Transformative Power (whether it changes things). The 16 axes provide comprehensive extraordinariness analysis.
The 16 Axes of the Extraordinary Spectrum Example: "The pandemic was mapped on all 16 axes: off the charts on most—impact, unexpectedness, historical significance, media attention, transformative power. But on explanatory challenge, it was moderate (viruses are understood). The axes showed exactly what made it extraordinary—and what didn't."
