Agwashing

when companies pretend to be using Agile Delivery Methodologies within their Development teams or Organisation as a whole when in fact they are not. Examples of good practices

These are all examples of "Agwashing"

- Switching to Jira to create your waterfall project plan so you can tell management you're Agile
- Insisting the supplier creates a fully defined scope of work before starting the new Agile project
- Placing value upon completing work rather than making something work

It became obvious the new CTO was "Agwashing" when he started complaining about scope change and non-delivery of Milestones

Fagfishing

When a media has characters that were very clearly (poorly) written to be pining for each other, with the sole intent to have fans of said media go crazy for it. its very similar to queerbait.

guy: Do you remember in 2020 how people shipped dream and george?
guy 2: LMAOO yes they were totally fagfishing, especially when they randomly released merch of it

guy: 2020 was genuinely crazy
