Writer’s disease

Used to define characters who are poorly written despite their abilities and potential they could have
Flash is one of the most powerful characters in DC. No joke. But the writers make him so he doesn’t live up to title because of writer’s disease

Writer

A human-like species fueled on coffee, criticizes themselves. The mating call of writers is the sound of pages flipping.
Did you see that crazy writer?

"ghost writer" AUTHORity

Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.
I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

type-writer

A kind of shirt (ususally an over-shirt) that with time will sag or move to one side, thus causing one to have to keep pulling it back to the other side like a type-writer. This happens most commonly with girls as some shirts will move to one side as it flows, but gets stuck on a boob.
Guy: Hey, you've got some type-writer action going on.
Girl: Ugh! I know, this shirt is so annoying, but cute!

Super Writer

Aww... I just found out about the story of Golbraith in Baldur's Gate 3 and how it's based on the father of a fan. That's sweet. Look it up. It's a nice story.
Hym "Aww... That gave me some decent warm fuzzies... I liked that. That was nice... But who's super writer? If he's super that would make me 'Ultra-Omega Writer Supreme.' That's going to be my title in my A.I. Dictatorship. 'Ultra-Omega Writer Supreme.' Call me that from now on... I'm not changing the name."
