bifs

Book Industry Fascist. BIFs are book trolls, and they often pretend to be experts in the industry. So, on the surface, they appear to be professional book industry representatives, but behind the scenes, they behave like trolls. They're a segment of gatekeepers in the book industry who try to prevent authors from succeeding with their books, especially novels. BIFs typically troll books for one or two reasons. They usually troll with the goal of getting some monetary compensation for a service, such as editing or paying for good reviews. They do this by making authors so afraid of getting bad reviews that they end up paying for good reviews to some scam organization of which the BIF pushed them into by giving the book a terrible review. In other words, BIFs exploit the book industry by scamming authors, especially independently published authors. BIFs also tend to be jealous, failed authors who can't stand for other authors to succeed. So, they purposely try to ruin other authors' potential success while also exploiting them in the process, and they do this by trolling those authors' books.

Those book trolls are a bunch of BIFs!

Get the BIF mug.

BIF

Acronym for Before I Forget. A useful pretext to use when messaging someone with information that you want someone to know but are afraid you will forget it if you do not share it then and there with the relevant person. Useful strategy used by those with attention deficits.

(Message to partner, house mate etc).

BIF. I put a load of washing in the clothes washer but had to leave before it finished. Can you please put it in the dryer for me.
