Usually someone utterly, totally useless, but can be applied to inanimate objects. Lacking any empowerment, thus going so far as to be inactively obstructive.
Etymology: in the UK a number of large companies operate call-centres. When one attempts to call these to complain, the usual response from the responder (the call-centre operative) is feigned interest in the issue, involving lengthy explanations, then the final response is that they cannot authorise the issue in question as due to lack of authority. The issues can be of any magnitude. When asked to be passed to a manager, they claim the manager is unavailable and will call back (this is the inactive-obstructive part). This never occurs, so one calls again. The situation recurses.

I attempted to wipe my arse with some own-brand toilet paper, after wiping the paper looked clean but the disgusting skiddies in my kecks later showed it was as useless as a call-centre operative.

What I call homo-sapiens who know the spartan prayer: "Achille, the frequency auditor, born by hands and killed by feet because he was so endowed in the trench that he was laid to rest so a female can portray the rest" and are addicted to abscesses.
Person 1: Do you know the spartan prayer and are addicted to abscesses?
Person 2: Yes.

Harvard declined your call or missed call from Harvard basically means that your dumb and have no brain cells at all. When someone says this to you, it means you said something so confident thinking it was true or right but in reality it was dumb and pointless.
