Poster Job

A thing that is considered shallow or lacks substance with only the intent to entice interest but offer nothing more. Similar to the feeling of seeing an interesting ad or movie poster but realizing the real thing is disappointing or devoid of value.

Lucas: "Oh hey, I heard the festival is this weekend. Should we go?"
Eva: "Don't even think about it man, it's a total poster job. Unless burning money is a hobby of yours."

Poster Child

What you should be calling millennials, the only generation who refuses to grow the freak up.

Be warned: never tell them they’re old, unless you have a death wish 😃👍

“That Kelsey is being way to modest, because she didn’t mention to you that she is the poster child for hatred, stupidity, the cancel culture, the misguided, and the truly hateful” - from whatever her name is who basically described all you need to know about millennials in a sentence.

Poster Session

When a group of academics peer pressures each another into pouring a few litres of beer into a tube designed for holding a conference poster, and passing it between them to chug from as if passing a joint.

Originated at RSS2019 in Schlappen, Freiburg.

Academic 1 to academic 2: “Hey, drink from this poster tube!”

Crowd of academics: “poster session! Poster session!”
