Get the Impressive mug.Verb. A strategy frequently encountered in academia wherein an individual attempts to impress or gain favor with superiors, peers, committees and institutions through the use of 1) technical jargon and bureaucratese 2) bootlicking people and/or institutions 3) lying about one's credentials, experience, knowledge and interests 4) cheating to get ahead and 5) attempting to make competition, newbies and non-academic folk feel stupid, useless or inadequate. In essence, being dishonest and attempting to be seem more learned and invested than one actually is in order to climb the ladder.
Unfortunately, many of the people that BSing to be impressing is directed at are fellow BSers, which allows the strategy to gain acceptance and perpetuate.

Ken got accepted into medical school not because he cares about people or has a genuine curiosity for human health, but because he has mastered the skill of BSing to be impressing, and thus was able to trick the admissions committee into thinking that he will make a good doctor. Really, he just wants money, recognition, and accolades. Once he begins practicing as an MD, he will absolutely let poor, minority, and/or female patients die.

Get the Danny Phantom Impression mug.A degenerate bonding ritual where one friend slaps the other full across the face—hard enough to knock the dignity loose—and growls, “Do your best mongoose impression.” The victim, now trembling and shame-charged, contorts their body like a hairless ferret having a nervous breakdown in a sock drawer. Bonus points if they hiss, writhe, or emit a sound somewhere between a squeal and a suppressed moan.
Usually carries a deeply uncomfortable sexual undertone—like someone dared Gollum to seduce a Subway sandwich artist. Equal parts frail, twitchy, and submissively eager, the mongoose impression is less of an act and more of a descent into greased-up, wide-eyed desperation.

"We're at Olive Garden, right? Outta nowhere, Jake slaps Trevor so hard his breadstick flies across the booth, then whispers, ‘Do your best mongoose impression.’ Trevor locks eyes with the waiter, arches his back, and starts chittering like a horny squirrel in heat. They comped our meal out of fear."
