"ghost writer" AUTHORity

Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.

I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

ghosting

The act of saving a seat while getting up to use the restroom, or other quick task.

My younger sister was good at ghosting her seat so I wouldn't take it while she was in the bathroom.

Ghost Swap

That down-n-dirty, budget hustle you pull when you lose your car keys and ain’t got the paperwork to make it “official.” Dealership wants half your rent money for a new key? Nah. You find the same whip, snatch the driver’s door, ignition, wheel, key, and brain box, drop it in yours—and boom, she’s alive again. Saved your pockets, cost you some sleep, a few homie favors, and probably your last clean hoodie.

Legend has it, when a car loses its keys and the papers vanish into thin air, only the bold pull a Ghost Swap. You find a twin ride, yank the driver’s door, ignition, steering wheel, key, and brain box, and drop it into your car. Outsiders see a miracle—your whip starts like nothing ever happened. You see broken nails, late nights, and the homies cursing you for making them lift a damn door. Few can pull it off. Fewer still survive it.

"They wanted eight bills for a damn key? Hell no. I hit the yard, did The Swap, and we back on the road by sundown."

"Only true hustlers know how to Ghost Swap."
