Robert. A successor to historic robber barons, a Robert in modern corporate America is an employee of high position who publicly and gleefully exposes the shortcomings of other employees — in order to control the weak and perversely amuse him/her self and others — whilst paying little heed to ruffled feathers, mangled psyches, or damaged careers.
Example: That Doctor Stowe is such a Robert. At a meeting today, the Doctor used a four page written list (that he compiled over the course of six years) to portray Carl and Scottie as nitwits.

Get the Robert mug.The so-called "robert construction" is a slang for a specific type of an organisation system which is applicable for box-shaped pieces of furniture with doors or drawers for storing miscellaneous items. The essence of "robert construction" is literally the items to be placed in a way that they will most probably fall down on your forehead at the moment that you try to reach some of the items or simply at the time of opening the door itself. In a more metaphorically way it would be called twisted tetris.
Oh my, I've tried to take a coffee cup from the cabinet yesterday morning and it was such a robert construction there that today I'm watching "The Simpson's" from the hospital with a broken nose and a huge bump on my forehead!

American actor/filmmaker.
Born Robert John Elias Jr. on June 24, 1936, Robert Downey Sr. first achieved fame as an actor, and later took up filmmaking in the late 1960s. His most notable films are perhaps "Putney Swope" and "Pound," the latter of which starred his five-year-old son, who was none other than -- you guessed it -- Robert Downey Jr.
Downey Sr. retired in the early 2010s after being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. He later died from complications of the disease on July 7, 2021. He was 85 years old.

Although he was overshadowed by his son later on in his life, Robert Downey Sr. was definitely always respected for his talent as a filmmaker.
