Get the rosy glassesmug. a situation in which women, specifically those from underrepresented communities, are promoted to higher positions during times of crisis or duress, or during a recession when the chance of failure is more likely.

It also makes the company look good. If the woman fails, the company is labeled as being progressive and is free to replace her with a man. If she succeeds, the company is better off and may even take credit for appointing the right person for the job. Even with the high chance of failure, a glass cliff position can be difficult to turn down because leadership roles are so infrequently offered to women
for exp: Jen O'Neal, Liz Truss, Kamala Harris and many more.

Get the glass cliffmug. A drinking vessel into which an inebriated individual howls vociferously into in order to produce a variety of sounds. The glass may be moved in such a manner to change pitch or tone, or to add tremolo or vibrato.
Brett drained his Duvel tulip in order to use it as a screaming glass before snorting flecks of Goldschlager off of the bar.
