Deadline-oriented

Someone who is "deadline-oriented" is an incorrigible procrastinator. Whether in school, work or personal life, the only thing that motivates this individual is an imminent deadline.

Whatever time is given for a task, the deadline oriented person will begin the task with not quite enough time to finish it, and work furiously to complete it before the deadline.

Journalists and students are some of the most "deadline-oriented" people.

After not working on her 50-page thesis all semester, Sarah pulled three consecutive all-nighters to finish it on time. Some might call her a procrastinator, but she prefers "deadline-oriented."

Deadline Anthropologist

A newspaper or magazine writer who creates inane articles about alleged dramatic changes in culture or society, even though the evidence is often flimsy generalties and select anecdotes.

Did you see that deadline anthropologist's article about American men now caring more about charity than acquiring personal wealth? Must be true because the pastor and kindergarten teacher quoted in the article said so.

Giske deadline

A hard deadline to accomplish a task or make a decision, primarily for a politician, forced upon by several auditors independent of political orientation. Despite the last property, most of the auditors are hardcore feminists. Failure to comply will most likely cause the disruption of political influence and general distrust of the arbiter.

The result or outcome of the decision or task is expected to be in favour of the auditors.

Etmyology: from the Norwegian politician Trond Giske who allegedly sexually harassed several female co politicians and who is subject for exclusions by the leadership of the Norwegian Labour Party.

"The Giske deadline is tomorrow at noon. If you don't comply or we don't like the result, be prepared for Bedlam"
