Drip Theory

Another way of saying that a person has drip. Drip theory is a theory in which all principles of having drip are met; a person is wearing 3 or more items that make them drippy.

This theory recognizes that humans are not perfect and that for every mistake in a model or schedule
there will be another "mistake" in somewhat equal scope to offset each other, hence rendering the model or budget still valid.
The idea behind is that things will anyway fall the way they fall and we cannot control for that.
The optimistic view is that this theory rejects Murphy's Law, the negligent take on it is the "Trust me, it will be OK" approach to life.
Decide where you want to be.
Accountant 1: oh, crap... we forgot to add $1 million in income from product X sales to the budget
Accountant 2: oh, fudge... product Y's revenue is inflated by $980K...oh wait... based on the Theory of Offsetting Mistakes all is well, the numbers we gave the CEO are still valid, yay.

Girl: oh, crap... your condom broke
Dude: oh, fudge... you miscounted your days, your period is due today at 8pm.... you are not pregnant, yay.

Hoop Theory

Noun: The act of approaching all types of girls correlated to taking different types of basketball shots based on their perceived attractiveness and the difficulty of the shot.

Lay-up: Asking out someone who’s chopped and pretty easy to get with. “Everyone warms up with lays, apart of every players bag”

Mid-range shot (Middy): Going for someone who’s debatable if you should go for that or not but it takes some effort, but still within reach. “Every great player has to shoot some middys sometimes, keep them humble.”

3-pointer: Tryna bag someone attractive, these shots are harder to take but not out of reach, one could go in. . “3 balls are essential to add to the bag, needa be proud of the shots you take.”

Logo shot: Pursuing someone extremely attractive and out of your league. Likely won’t succeed, but worth a shot. Do not recommend but every once in a while the shot is there. ONLY FOR 10s “Chooc’s favorite shot.”

This theory covers the principle that you have some people who are incompetent but get promoted anyway due to arrogance, self-belief and ignorance of their own capabilities and limitations. Their self-belief comes across as confidence and skill during short interview exposure where real skills are not challenged or tested thoroughly. Ultimately they become a manager. They try to exert control over all future situations, despite a lack of informed knowledge.

These employees float up to the top of an organisation, repeating the same process. and this is why there is a layer of shit often floating at the top, underneath which capable employees become exhausted and disgruntled.

This in essence is the Polystyrene Brown Management Theory.

It gains its name from some simple principles. If placed in water, Polestyrene will float to the top, pushing everything out of its way to get there, where it refuses to sink, is bad for the environment and is generally just shit. Inhibiting the necessary light needed for employee growth underneath where they are left in a less oxygen-rich environment, unable to get the necessary straws to aid breathing, due to the budget cuts imposed by said Polystyrene Brown Management.

The environment that the employee is left to work in starts to turn brown, and everywhere they look they feel they are surrounded by shit.
Polysterene Brown Management Theory

"Well David, that's some "Polysternene Brown Management Theory" bullshit right there you useless bag of limp dicks" - replied Kevin.
