A "dirty Kelly" is when you go out in public completely naked late at night with a girl who doesn't mind having sex on the hood of your car, a park bench, or the neighbor's trampoline.

Get the Dirty Kellymug. None of us are as dumb as all of us.
A counter to the older, pro-teamwork adage "None of us are as smart as all of us."
Speaks to the risk of lower-level workers' input being useless if upper management gives its own opinion first, due to the tendency of workers to fall in line once the position of the leader (who could fire them for dissent) is known.
The wording above was written on a wall at NASA's Houston complex after the Challenger disaster, as reported by astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Although the concept has long been known of, once it took the form of an aphorism, it acquired a viral quality.

Niels Bohr and son Aage asked low-level engineer Richard Feynman their questions before asking higher-ups like Oppenheimer, partly to avoid taking up important administrators' time, but also to avoid Kelly's law of committees. Asking the higher-ups first, with lower-level workers present, would have a chilling effect on the latter's offering their own ideas and concerns.

Get the kellismug. Hall of Fame Quartback for the Buffalo Bills in the 80’s and 90’s. Known as a QB with a Linebacker’s mentality in the national media, he led his team to 4 straight Super Bowl appearances during the 1990 - 1993 seasons - all losses. These tough games did not diminish the opinion of his adopted hometown fans, and attends many big games on the sidelines at the re-named New Era field, always to large ovations upon appearance.
Considered everywhere to be the complete opposite of Tom Brady in that he is honest, kind, charitable, and has integrity. Especially given that he wasn’t a

Get the Jim Kellymug. She is house broken, friendly, and great with kids and other animals. She is low energy so exercise isn't a necessity and waking her from long rests and naps is unadvised. She loves to cuddle, and can be taken most places. Her favourite treats are chicken nuggies and slurpees. She does tend to be upset if you get her the wrong flavours though. While fearful, she does demonstrate good guard instincts when left home alone. She can be left alone and only shows distress when you leave, calms down fairly quickly there after. She likes to meet others as well, but can be slightly jealous if anyone shows interest in her people. We have had success in teaching her new things. Some extra attention during thunderstorms is quite common or else she may whimper and cry (refer to favourite treats). All in all, she's a good girl 🐕
We have a Kelly
