When a manager says "we" to their boss in reference to the work his/her subordinates did that he/she is taking credit for.
Subordinate: "Hey, I finished that project you asked me to do."
Manager: "Thanks, I'll let my boss know. Good work!"
Manager to Manager's Boss: "Hey, look at this thing we made, cool huh?"
Co-worker to Subordinate: "Hey, didn't you write that policy?"
Subordinate: "Yeah, that was a 'managerial we'."
Co-worker: "Snaked by the bossman again!"
Manager: "Thanks, I'll let my boss know. Good work!"

In the BSA, this is the stage between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, and the number #1 reason why boys drop out of the BSA. They don't want to say, "We are WE BLOWS".
MOM: Peter, Bobby, you are no longer cub scouts. Pretty soon you will be able to say "We are WE BLOWS".
PETER: Mom, can we quit, and join back up when we're old enough to be boy scouts?
