A pompous job title self-servingly contrived by human resource (HR) "professionals" to be applied to themselves, obviously intended to justify the existence and further expansion of the HR function within business organizations. A further objective of this ruse appears to be propagation of the illusion that the HR function possesses a holistic grasp of broader strategic issues facing the organization enabling it to contribute expanded economic value and thereby providing justification for elevated compensation demands for HR staff.
A look at online job advertisements will confirm that the use of this title is spreading faster than a California wildfire, giving credence to the notion that this scheme was recently cooked up in some HR industry association initiative as a way to rebrand HR "professionals" as being more than the administrative paper pushers they, in fact, are.
The absurdity of this inflated moniker is further appreciated when one considers that no other functions appear to have widely implemented similar titles in their functions. For example, one seldom sees job postings for bizarre titles such as "engineering business partner", "sales business partner", or "legal business partner".

Castle: "Hey Russo, what's with that new idiotic title of yours I saw on LinkedIn? Human Resources Business Partner? You've got to be kidding me."
Russo: "Come on Frank, it's a title to reflect the greater value I bring to the business."
Castle: "Jesus, Billy, you and I both know you that you don't know a damn thing about business and that the only reason you’re in HR is because you flunked out of all the other departments."

A contemptible and low-life individual;
a person who's a waste of oxygen and flesh; the ultimate scumbag of existence!

Pete's wife aptly labeled him as a "human skidmark on the underwear of life" when he forgot to acknowledge their 20th wedding anniversary by having an illicit fling with the baby-sitter at the local hotel.

"Pathetic excuse for a human being" is used to describe someone who is so pathetic at what he does and what he believes in that he have no redeeming qualities, he is considered completely useless, he always complains about everything and never do anything to fix it, he feeds off attention and rage & complains when he doesn't get any, all he does is annoy and hurt the people around him, his ideas and morality are so pathetic so wrong so ridiculous that no one cares to listen, some people will even argue that he is not worth keeping alive but he is usually so pathetic that he is not even worth killing.

the cultivation of revolting beans during the famous "Bean Uprising" of 3044 by half humans, half robots. Eventually the cyborgs joined the beans, striking for wages, food, and comfortable beds.
Man, those syborg human bean revolutions have really got me down. I think that we should revolt against them for a change.
