Get the under-stater mug.A paper shaker is a person who always seems to be busy at work but doesn't get anything done.
Paper shakers will arrive to work early and leave late to create the image that they are always working. Paper shakers exhibit all the worst examples of presenteeism. They will work when sick to make a show of it.
A paper shaker will prescribe more work as the cure for whatever ails any project. This sermonizing will never result in any new actions or change on their part. Paper shakers already see themselves as working harder than everyone else.
Don't confuse a paper shaker with a hustler. A paper shaker may see themselves as a hustler and try to create this impression. They might have a coffee mug or t-shirt that says some catchphrase like "always hustlin'" for example. At heart, they are lazy sycophants.
The term "paper shaker" comes from the idea that they always have some "proof of work" handy. Vampire hunters carried garlic to ward off evil and paper shakers have busy work to ward off actual work.
Dealing with paper shakers from a management perspective is simple. Once identified, check in with them often. Set goals with them and see where they land. Ask them what they are working on and direct them away from their own busy work. This should keep paper shaking to a minimum.

The paper shakers in HR thinks everyone should work 3.5 more hours a week to hit our targets.
Tim is such a paper shaker, what does that guy even do?
Upper management is all paper shakers, they come in early and go home late but have nothing to show for it.

Get the cranium shaker mug.An individual who believes he is part of the "Fit Fam" by choice of his girlfriend. These individuals do not drink beer like men do they drink diddy juice. What ever that is. They do not go out to the bar with the boys as burgers, burritos, pizza and beers are not part of their life style. They tend to have man buns and do anything their girlfriend says. Including staying in on a Friday night to watch the notebook and cook lentils, while the boys are out partying. These individuals also "Stack Paper" mainly by hiding from their friends as sluggin beers and slamming shots can get expensive.
Look at that herb over there with the man bun. He must be a fit fam money stacker.
Well we lost another one of our friends to the fit fam money stackers he's got a knot on the top of his head and can't come out because his gf is cooking lentils and grass fed beef.
Hey man you wanna go out and grab a burger and slam a few beers? Nah dude I gotta stay in with the girlfriend we are fit fam money stackin sippin diddy juice watching the note book

Get the fit fam money stacker mug.A real man or woman; a true American patriot. Contrary to popular liberal belief, Red Staters (aka Republicans) are actually more open-minded and tolerant of things than they are given credit for. To begin, the overwhelming majority of them are NOT racist. There are tons of Democrats who are racist, however. (Keep this in mind, it was Democrats in the past who promoted mistreatment of black people, and wanted to keep slavery alive. There are many white democrats today who still despise blacks. Yes, it is TRUE.)
Next, we believe in women's rights. We believe that women have every right to leave the home, get a college degree, become successful and get a job, etc. To say otherwise about our stand on women's rights is BULLSHIT. Also, Red Staters (or Republicans) do NOT go around committing hate crimes on racial minorities, homos, lesbians, or non-Christians. (Just so you know, I have fellow devoutly-Republican friends who are ATHEISTS!!! AND, I don't criticize them for it, either.) You people fail to realize that there are millions of Republicans who are actually racial minorities. These include asians, Native Americans, Hispanics, subcontinient Asian Indians, and even a few black people. There are also Jewish Republicans. Yes, there are; there is plenty of evidence to support the fact that there are people of every single one of those previously-mentioned groups within the Republican Party.

The Red Staters are attacked and accused of things that most of them are not or that they haven't ever done. Don't call us brain-washed; you people all seem to believe the stereotypes about us, without having any evidence to back it up (and you call yourselves free-thinkers.) You all just blindly follow the words and commentary of figures like Ted Kennedy, Diane Feinstein, John Kerry, and Michael Moore.
