When a student in your class tries to be funny but the teacher picks up to what he or she is doing and they get yelled at and sent out of the room and just hear a random "NO SCOPE!!" Out of nowhere.
Ok class do you all have your project done that was due today? (Random student) No but I sure got DEEZ NUTZ!! Teacher- Leave the room now we're going to call your parents! (Random student) NO SCOPE!!!

In the age of AI 'vibe coding' tools being embrace by the software developer community; founders, CEOs, clients, product managers & producers have whole heartedly embrassed 'Vibe Scoping' at scale.
The subtly art of documenting nothing, making shit up & drowning the project team in a high frequency, flurry of emails mid project; thus parcing it off as part of the original project scope & sneaking it into the product back log at no cost. Causing the project team to implode as they all attempt to throw each other under the bus.
A long lost cousin to love boming, can also be called 'scope bombing'. Can apply to a range of industries including construction. These are all red flags.
SEE also 'vibe invoicing' the only known defense against 'vibe scoping'.

SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
Dev A (jnr dev) "Ken's just sent me an email full of new product features, it makes no sens. What do I do?"
Dev B (snr dev) "Oh, he's just making shit up. He's trying the ole vibe scoping mind trick on you. Pull out the scope doc as the source of truth & add it to the next phase. The PMs can cost it in & raise an invoice."
BUILDING INDUSTRY
Builder A "What do I do, the clients rattled of a range of random things for us to build. They want a lazy suzan and broiler in the middle of the spa bath? It's not in any of our plans, I think he is vibe scoping again"
Builer B 'Allg lad, we'll get the boss to vibe invoice them. We'll celebrate with that imported beer at arvo knock offs & send a note to his parole officer."
