tiberius gambit

an attempt by an unpopular leader to rehabilitate his failed legacy by naming as his successor a person so corrupt and/or incompetent that the predictably disastrous reign to follow would make his own epic failure look like an epic win in comparison.

the tiberius gambit was named after the unpopular roman emperor tiberius who named as his successor his notoriously capricious and probably insane grandson caligula, who instituted a bloody reign of terror of the like even rome had never seen.
john mccain's nomination of sarah palin as his vice president has to be the first time i've ever seen anyone slap down a tiberius gambit even before they've become president.

Tier 4 meme

A meme requiring almost an impossible knowledge of internet lore and underlying meme context to understand. Even with a detailed explanation, no normal person will ever understand the Tier 4 Meme.
When one encounters a Tier 4 meme and comprehends it their minds are blown.

Typically seen in group chats. Sent only from the group know it all. Often to no response.
Stop sending tier 4 memes. They are fucking with my head.

Jared needs to stop sending tier 4 memes in the work group chat. People are starting to think he's weird.
