(n-1) tier

Whereas a modern web software application has separate layers for presentation (user interface), business logic, and storage etc. (because modular construction is easier to build and debug) it is usually called an "n-tier architecture", where n represents the number of modules or layers. It is much more secure and robust than the "old way" (1-tier), where one machine was the web server, file server, database, and firewall. A program which has illogical or insufficient rules (i.e. absence of business logic) can be termed "(n-1) tier", as a crucial part (usually the part that makes the software smart or helpful) has obviously been omitted by scatterbrained developers, detached managers, clueless requirements analysts, dumb pilot members, etc.
Employee A: Did you submit your travel costs yet?
Employee B: No, our stupid online expense system kept giving me a cryptic error.
Employee A: Yup, that EOM app is an (n-1) tier system...

Boss: I need you to fix your time charges for last week. You entered 45 hours instead of 4.5 hours on Wednesday.
Subject: Must've been a fat-finger. Too bad our accounting system can't catch that obvious error. It's just another (n-1) tier waste of code.

John 1:14

A cool Bible verse that says: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Person 1: Yo bro have you heard of John 1:14
Person 2: No, what is that?

The attractiveness scale is an outdated concept largely based in sexist objectification of women by which one can objectively rank an individual's physical attractiveness based on a 1-10 scale. An Attractiveness Scale takes the shape of a Bell Curve, meaning the vast majority of people are lumped together in the middle range.

The scale can be understood as follows:

1 - 3 UNATTRACTIVE
The bottom 10% of the scale describes those generally considered unattractive people. In particular people with pronounced deformities or a seriously irregular appearance.

4-7 AVERAGE

The vast majority of people (roughly 80%) fall into the average range. Their looks are typical and not exceptional. Some average people can be subjectively valued by individuals as cute, sexy, hot, etc..

8-10 THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
About 10% are people who are generally agreed to be well above average in looks. These are the people highly sought after for their physical appearance and who are often employed AT THE HIGH END of beauty- focused industries such as fashion modeling, entertainment, and sex work.
On the 1-10 Attractiveness Scale most women think they are "8"s but they are really "5"s. Most men assume they are "5"s no matter where they fall on the scale.

1) What

A reference to the downfall of FTX where instead of explaining the situation, the CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, created a Twitter thread over the course of a few days starting with a single tweet saying "1) What" followed by numerous numbered tweets spelling out "H-A-P-P-E-N-E-D"

This is often seen used on crypto Twitter whenever a prominent figure makes a big mistake causing a public outcry on Twitter, similar to the FTX scenario
