Pence Effect

When a person is held responsible for something by their boss that logic and/or the facts suggest is due to a number of other circumstances. While it can be argued very narrowly that the employee could have behaved differently, it is the case that there are too many aforementioned factual or logical inconsistencies to cause the ire of the boss upon the employee. An important element is that this judgement and subsequent criticism is after a considerable amount of time where the employee has offered loyalty in the face of difficult positions taken by or assignments given by one's boss.

The vice president suffered from the Pence Effect when he was blamed by his boss for not single handedly overturning the election.

That guy toiled loyally for years attempting to implement his bosses ideas even though they were I'll advised. When they didn't work out he was blamed. Sure, maybe someone else could have done it, but to draw the conclusion that it's his fault is a stretch at best. He suffered from the Pence Effect.

Pence

The act of overtly and obnoxiously fawning by a known sycophant

One who indiscriminately endeavors, however pathetic or immoral the course, to gain the approval of the person or institution they admire

A traitor lacking courage

He had a chance to stand by democracy and save his own skin, but he chose to grovel and penced it up.

He's going to tie his family's reputation forever with the traitors' cause he's all about that pence.

He sucked Trump's toes during the coup attempt cause he was a total pence

As genuine as a 40 pence piece

A term used in the UK when someone is desperately trying to convince you that their piece of information or version of events is correct to gain your trust but you know that they're blatantly lying through their teeth. Or someone is trying to sell you the latest designer object (watch, trainers, handbag etc.) and you can clearly see it's a fake. It's as genuine as a 40 pence piece. There is no such thing as a 40 pence piece in UK currency so if someone tried to give you one you'd know it wasn't real money.

A woman looking at handbags on Ebay: "oooo have you seen this lovely designer handbag it's only £10"
Friend: " narr mate it's a fake"
Woman: " it looks genuine to me"
Friend: " genuine! It's about as genuine as a 40 pence piece"

Or

A man after been told someone unreliable information: " rubbish! what a load of old tosh"

The informer: " narr mate it's absolutely genuine"
Man: "yeah about as genuine as a 40 pencepiece"

Feet are shaped like a 50 pence piece

Used to describe a football player whose passes or shots go anywhere other than intended.

Insinuates that the player's feet at shaped like a seven-sided coin used in the UK, adding a random directional factor to any strike of the ball.

Darwin Nunez has fucked up that chance again. His feet are shaped like a 50 pence piece!

Penced

1. To have faith in someone who blindsides you and lets you down
2. When someone reveals their true colors and betrays you in a time of need
3. When a coward doesn't uphold the truth

Example: Judas "Penced" Christ, to the Jewish authorities, in return for thirty pieces of silver
