Detective Douche

Nickname for Daniel Espinoza in the Netflix show Lucifer. Mostly used in season one before Sir Douche learned to stop being such a.....well, douche!

“Has something happened? I’m guessing by the looks of it, with Dan, perhaps?” “You mean detective douche?” “Well, of course I mean that but the real question is why do you mean that?”

Selective incompetence

Something you "can't" do because you don't want to do it. Something you can get others to do by making believe you can't do it.

When asked to do laundry they put all the white clothes in on hot and then put a brand new red sweatshirt in too. The result was all the white laundry was pink and they were banned from touching the laundry ever again...they could wash laundry but didn't want to so they applied "selective incompetence " to get out of ever being asked again.

Selective Fatigue Syndrome

Fatigue which is used as an excuse when one does not want to perform undesirable tasks such as work.

My co-worker claimed her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome kept her from coming to work, but she had no problems making it to the nightclubs. What she really has is Selective Fatigue Syndrome.

The attitude of being introvert towards some people and/or situations but with the right stimulation, can be exhibit extrovert qualities as well.

I wonder why he is usually shy in the class but is very outgoing to strangers in trade fairs? He must be a selective introvert.

selective britishness

When the overall country (Britain) is used to spread the dissapointment or a failure of an individual region (Scotland/Ireland/Wales/but normally England). When regions pick and choose their Britishness to suit them.

When Henman loses a tennis match, it's a sad day for "Britain", not "England", and when Murray wins a match, it's a good day for "Britain" not "Scotland". Perhaps I'm biased (being a scot) but it always seems that way. Selective Britishness! Hah!

passive-directive

To present a needed task, job, or duty as a choice when it is actually a command. Either due to the audacity of the assignment, the lack of communication skills of the assignor, or both.

My boss is so passive-directive. He's always like, "Umm yeeah, I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday, ummkay?"
