a concept where an individual, typically identifying as gay, engages in flirtatious behavior or pretends to have a romantic or sexual interest in a colleague of the opposite gender while at the workplace. This action is performed publicly with the primary intent of diverting attention from the individual's actual sexual orientation. It's a strategy used to create a facade of heterosexuality in environments where being openly gay might lead to negative consequences, such as discrimination or social ostracization.
"Since he wasn't ready to come out at work, Mike flirted with Jenna, using her as a work beard, so his colleagues would assume he was straight."

Get the Work beardmug. No. It isn’t is it? See, I kind of vaguely remembered telling you all that what you’re doing doesn’t work. And what did you do? You just went and did it anyway because you thought you were better than me.
Hym “Oh? Is the thing I said wasn’t working... I donno... not working? Is that what’s happening here? Because I said people were doing it and explained to you why it wasn’t going to work and what did you do? You signed off on it and are now surprised that Captain-Always-Right is right again. If there is no recourse than only one option remains. It isn’t indefinite slavery at the hands of the tyrannical state that abides the very acts it condemns. What’s my only option here?”
Dr. Jeepjorp “...”
Hym “AHP!” 😑☝️“You were going to say something other than the only option that remains weren’t you. Have you tried, I donno, creating someone kind of recourse that gives me more than one option? No. No you didn’t do that. You just doubled down. And now you’re trying to withhold it from me. So, how about we try something new? Have you tried punishing the whores? That sounds like a good idea. I like this plan. Because we all know the definition of insanity. And you’re all doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different response. I, on the other hand, have tried to reason with you but to no avail. You don’t listen. That’s you’re problem. That’s the problem with everyone even remotely like you. So convinced of your own righteousness. Drunk on your own moral certitude. Why should I let you sit on a double-standard and feint the moral high ground? An easy enough question to answer. I shouldn’t. So I won’t.”

Get the Worke Specialmug. Verb. To play along with a storyline or setup of any kind to the point where real life drama is intertwined with it, drastically changing the plans, and creating real animosity between pro-wrestlers.
Hulk Hogan caused himself to be worked into a shoot when he forced the original 3 match feud with Shawn Michaels, with Hogan winning 2 of 3, into a single match feud, which caused real backstage drama between he and Shawn.
