statement loss

The opposite of a 'statement win' in sports: a defeat so bad it proves how bad a team really is, especially a team previously thought to be not so bad.

Yeah, I'd say losing by 31 points to the Panthers qualifies as a statement loss.

statement bail

When you bail on someone to make a statement that they don't run your lives. For example: the person you're talking to asks you to hang out and assumes you will drop everything to hang out with them. You bail to make a statement that they don't run your life.

I wanted to hang out with them, but I always go where he is. I think I'm going to statement bail.

Barnum Statement

A Barnum Statement is a phrase used by conmen (for example a psychic) to try and make people think they have some deep insight into their psychology or life.
They are also commonly used in horoscopes

Barnum Statements are statements which most people will agree with, regarding themselves, while not realizing that almost every other person will also agree with them regarding their own lives

examples are:
"you have a good sense of humor, but not everyone sees it"
"you tend to think about things before taking action"
"You have had some major challenges in your life"
"you recently had a disagreement with someone you care for"

"The psychic told me that I was quite intelligent, but other people dont always see it"
"Sounds like she was just feeding you a Barnum Statement"

Mission Statement

The vague and unobtainable goals of a company or organization used by management to explain what the company or organization and they themselves do.

After months of meetings and repeated drafts they thought their new Mission Statement was perfectly clear, only problem was it really had nothing to do with what they did.
