Bandwagon-engineering 

A method an engineer uses to execute an idea with no science or facts. Typically used in corporate world by engineers who speak with great confidence.
Method steps -
1. Gather a bunch of charts from online
2. Deductively link a path through the data that seems smart but never uses scientific fact
3. Get as many people on board with your philosophical concept
4. Come back with your people to beat down any and intimidate any one who does not agree with your idea that uses data and equations
5. If you are new to the company say you don't know how the people before you came up with it.

6. Plan ahead for the presentation to strongly shut up anyone who may start to point out facts by stating "We can go on for a long time in great detail about that, but that's for another time" or say "There is so much to that discussion we need to put together a presentation for another date to address that"
-The customer has come to us with a valid complaint that our products are defective by design. Any engineer in this company can clearly see that. As engineering 101 information was ignored in the design. We will just gather a team to bandwagon-engineering the customer with information.

-I don't know what I am doing with engineering so I am going to bandwagon-engineer my idea to management.

bandwagon parent 

a deadbeat mom or dad who doesn't put any time or effort into encouraging, mentoring, or otherwise raising their son/daughter...but doesn't hesitate to play the part of Proud Parent as soon as the kid starts kicking ass at something, esp if s/he didn't play any part in said child's success.
That asshole tried to discourage drum lessons, argue against buying a kit, and doesn't spend any time with his boy...but he wants pictures and video of his son to show off now that he's getting good at drums? He's a bandwagon parent if I ever saw one.

bandwagon athlete 

An athlete whose team is liked only because he plays on it. They are liked by fans wherever they go. These fans only like the player, not the team. (i.e. somebody turned into a Miami Heat fan when LeBron left Clevelend and hated the Cavaliers, but then was a Clevelend fan once again when LeBron returned).

Bandwagon Bitch 

Somebody who has absolutely no knowledge of anything sports related but loves to root for only winning teams, so they can fit in.
You guys know Danny? Yeah isn't he a bandwagon bitch?

bandwagon bitching 

"Bandwagon bitching" is most easily done on social networking sites. Someone posts about something complaining and whining and then all the others on their friends list just jump in there to further the bitching no matter if they've even really thought more than five seconds about the subject or at least 5% of the scope of the problem. Bitching in agreement and in a crowd is even more fun! Let's just back up the original whiner cuz they're my bud. In the old days, they used to do it around the water cooler at work. Now they've learned how easy it is to reach a mass audience via the Internet.
Social networking site conversation example below:
Fred: Wow mannnn.....those g**damned gub'ment officials sure are f**k-ups! I was stuck in my car for 12 hours! They need to get more snow plows like Boston! Eventually I had to take a dump on the side of the road and abandon my car (and my turd....thanks goodness).
John: Yeah...those asshats!
Beatrice: You know....I would have done this.....blah blah blah
<About 50 more people here chiming in and agreeing with Fred also and how they've been done wrong with one minute solutions.>
Ralph: Did you realize the weather pattern changed and hit the city instead of going south of it? You should have left work and got home. Our office shut down early as the weather was changing.
Fred: No....how was I supposed to know that?
Ralph: Did you get my text earlier on your iPhone?
Fred: Sure did.
Ralph: How about that iPhone with the Weather Channel App on it???
Fred: Uhhhhhhh
Ralph: How about that TV in your building lobby that always has the Weather Channel playing?
Fred: I don't give a shit....I'll just bitch with my buds some more on Facebook so I feel better and empowered cuz I am right!
Beatrice: You tell him Fred! Ralph is a douche...
<About 50 other people chiming in here giving Ralph a douche equivalent label.>
Ralph: OK....I think I have to go enter a new term on Urban Dictionary now (bandwagon bitching)...later

bandwagon christian 

A bandwagon Christian is a person who goes to church. Believes God and Jesus are real , knows the way a Christian should live yet their lives are not indicative of whom they say they represent.

They go to church on Sunday, give God one maybe two hours of their time and then when they leave they go back to their old selves. Smoking, drinking, cursing, fornication, not reading the bible, not discipling etc. Live their life in the flesh by doing something and in the midst of is saying " I am a Christian. Defiling the concept of a true Christian.
