As in hellfire. When a wealthy individual, having rapaciously climbed the ladders of success to get to the top, feels pangs of guilt for the unethical deeds done along the way to get there. Fearing a legacy of scorn, or, if a believer, an eternity of damnation, he or she takes out "fire insurance" in the form of donations to charity and / or public displays of contrition at speaking events, etc.
Marco: Looks like another Ted Talk from a dot com billionaire decrying capitalism—a little fire insurance never hurt, did it?
Polo: Yeah, that person also just had a new building named after her downtown. It's a homeless shelter. The employees of the old companies she destroyed live there now.

Get the you're fired mug.Donald Trump's catchphrase. Contrary to popular belief, however, the phrase was not originally popularized by him. In point of fact, the phrase entered popular culture in the 1963 animated series, "The Jetsons." George Jetson's (the titular character) boss, Mr. Spacely, could be seen in multiple episodes threatening to (or following through) fire George Jetson. It was a running gag throughout the series.
"Jetson! You're fired!"

Get the You're Fired mug.A compliment to most and slander to few.
For when your product is better than pretty good, but it is not quite “most fire”.
In fact, a Rastafarian wouldn’t even qualify as “more fire.” But “pretty fire” is a compliment you will have to accept until you step up your game.
