Pulling a Zelensky

To lure an enemy in by pretending to be a meek wimp and then beat the shit out of them.
— Sun Tzu, The Art of War

The Ottomans were pulling a Zelensky during the Gallipoli campaign, killing 300k British and French invaders.

Captain America spends his entire life pulling a Zelensky.

Kardashev Type Zeta Null Civilization

A civilization that has achieved Zeta-Null, a state of complete ontological independence. It no longer harnesses energy from the universe; it has decoupled its existence from the universe's foundational constants and laws. Its continued being and operations are entirely self-referential and self-sustaining, requiring no external input, context, or framework. To lower civilizations, it appears as a persistent, impossible anomaly—a bubble of "un-reality" that follows its own utterly private physics. It is the ultimate form of existential sovereignty.

Kardashev Type Zeta Null Civilization Example: Imagine a painting that doesn't need a canvas, paint, or a painter—it just is, and its colors are defined only in relation to each other, not to any external light source. A Type Zeta Null civilization is that painting. It doesn't orbit a star; it exists in a self-contained pocket where the concepts of "star" and "orbit" are simply irrelevant to its internal, closed logic of existence.

Riding the zero

Originally from the tv show Mom, meaning to keep driving on an empty tank of gas. However now it’s used to mean when you know something is over but you haven’t left yet.

“I thought you got fired?”
“Not yet, but I’m riding the zero.”

“How is your relationship going?”
“We are basically riding the zero at this point.”

Was Selena Gomez doing a Zegler/Zeg when she spoke about illegal immigrants?

I have been so frustrated in my job that I've been thinking about doing the Zegler/Zeg!
I was expelled from school because my of my Zegler/Zeg last week, the school is misogynistic!
