McBouche

This is the name given to someone who you think is a Bouche dag. It can be related to the common know Douche Bag but originated from a slight slip of tough and the word stuck! Someone who is a McBouche is someone who does something silly or says something grammatically incorrect. Everyone can be given this title.

McBoatfacing

The act of making the critical mistake of letting "the internet" decide something, e.g. in an online poll.

There was an online poll to name a brand new research ship. The vote ended up with the name Boaty McBoatface winning. In the end, the name "Sir David Attenborough" was used but one of the robotic submarines onboard WAS named Boaty McBoatface as a compromise !
I thought of maybe asking my Facebook friends to choose names for the kittens, but that could be McBoatfacing.

McBoatfacing

Making the critical mistake of letting the internet decide things.

Back story:

Boaty McBoatface (also known as Boaty) is the British lead boat in a fleet of three robotic lithium battery–powered autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) of the Autosub Long Range (ALR) class. Launched in 2017 and carried on board the polar scientific research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough, she is a focal point of the Polar Explorer Programme of the UK Government.

The name Boaty McBoatface was originally proposed in a March 2016 #NameOurShip online poll to name the £200 million polar scientific research ship being constructed in the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead for the United Kingdom's Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).2 BBC Radio Jersey presenter James Hand coined the humorous suggestion Boaty McBoatface for the poll, and the name quickly became the most popular choice by far, with 33% of the vote to 11% for the second choice. The name was described as a homage to Hooty McOwlface, an owl named through an "Adopt-a-Bird" programme in 2012 that became popular on the Internet.
One of the more famous examples of McBoatfacing is the Hooty McOwlface incident.
