A one off proof of concept to test a theory or gather data that organically evolves into a nightmare of poor structure, unmaintainable code, and general technical debt. The evolution into this nightmare form is typically driven by business will to 'Get it into prod' , ever changing customer requirements, and assumption that we're completely invalid from the start of the project.

Dev: It's not even close to being a viable production ready system.

When a dude does NOT penetrate his virgin girlfriend, but, shoots his load onto her pussy, it does, on rare occasion, result in Immaculate Conception & Virgin Birth.
Why did you shoot your load onto her pussy? That was stupid. Now you've had a case of Immaculate Conception & Virgin Birth, and you never even fucked her.

No dude, we've got a bunch of TV interviews starting tonight. We're gonna be rich and famous!

Party Hard, Run Harder concept

A personality created by two intellegent track stars, explaining the way of life of a runner. This concept strategically combines the partying lifestyle of many teens and adults these days, with the running lifestyle of the few adults, and many teens. As many may know, there is a "Train Hard, Party Harder Personality", where runners favor their party life over the life they live on the field.

Well, this is the more serious approach on running, where after downing a few great drinks in record time, one may choose to celebrate through binge running; as opposed to justifying binge drinking as the reward for a good run or race.
You may think having the best time on the field makes you the better runner, but the most balanced runner/partier has you beat.

Slow and steady wins the race.
Jenny: Party tonight!
Gabby: Run tonight!
Jenny: Let's run to the party, and then run back! "Party hard, Run Harder Concept!"
Gabby: Well, that's just fantastic!
Jenny: Super!

Jenny: Hey, it's about time we crank out a 2 minute mile!
Gabby: No, no, Jenny. We've been running nonstop all season. We need to take a break.

Jenny: You're right.
