Secretary: "How was the community engagement meeting about the new city bus service?"
Local Council Member: "All boomers. Always boomers. Fucking hell, don't those lead-heads have lawns to guard? They never want anything that's good for society, they never even leave their house except to eat at that shitty diner next to the highway without tipping"
Secretary: "..."
Local Council Member: "This country is a disaster, I don't even know why I try to fix it, there's nothing here worth saving anymore, I'm moving to Amsterdam"

lead bubble

Something (such as a character or vehicle in a video game) that can take a certain amount of damage without any degradation of performance, until the point at which it runs out of hitpoints and suffers spontaneous existence failure.

The idea is that it's like a bubble in the sense that when it's destroyed, it just suddenly "pops" out of existence, but it's made of lead, so it's stronger than an actual bubble.

The name comes from Megaman 2, where one of the weapons Megaman could get was called the "Bubble Lead". Which was probably a reference to how it "leads" you and finds hidden pits, but a lot of people started pronouncing it like the metal lead...
I put so many shield generators on my ship that it's practically a lead bubble now. 1,000 HP worth of shields, and 150 HP worth of internal components... one hit from a wave motion gun once the shields are down and it's toast!

Cooking with a Lead Pan

A metaphor describing a business strategy, decision, or practice that delivers quick or impressive short-term results, but creates serious long-term problems, liabilities, or risks.

Just as using a lead pan might make food seem fine at first but slowly poisons those who eat it, “cooking with a lead pan” implies that a company or leader is pursuing results that look good now but will prove toxic over time - for the business, employees, or customers.
Launching that product without proper testing might look good on the quarterly report, but we’re cooking with a lead pan if we ignore the long-term brand damage.”

“Cutting customer support to save costs is just cooking with a lead pan — we’ll pay for it in churn and reputation later.”
