bureaucratic parasite

A bureaucrat that wastes money and drains resources from society. They are quite common in countries all over the world.

When a bureaucrat was giving a speech about how much work the government was getting done, I yelled, "Get off the stage you bureaucratic parasite!" They always lie and act like the government is working efficiently.

Bureaucratic Promise

Quoting someone a large time range for something to occur, even though it will probably happen much sooner.

I always have to tell my customers that they'll get an e-mail within 24-48 hours, even though they get it immediately.

Ah, a good ol' bureaucratic promise. You just know that one person didn't get that e-mail within 30 seconds and they were pissed; so now, you have to tell everyone they'll get it within 24-48 hours.

Bureaucratic euthanasia

To be euthanized, or commit euthanasia via the use of bureaucratic mechanisms. Stalling lifesaving measures to the point of death using bureaucracy.

My mother’s healthcare system killed her using bureaucratic euthanasia by having her get shuffled around so many different specialists and tests that she eventually drop dead before getting any real treatment.

Somewhat Officious Bureaucrat

A way of disguising the fact that you are calling some one the American English insult of an S.O.B., i.e. a "Son-of-a bitch"
