Raygun

Raygun (noun): A slang term describing someone who exudes extreme confidence but lacks the necessary skills or talent to back it up. This term often applies to individuals whose boldness and self-assurance lead them to take on tasks or challenges well beyond their capabilities, resulting in outcomes that are more comedic than successful. The term is inspired by instances where overconfidence leads to unintentional humor or failure, making the person a source of amusement rather than admiration.

Example 1: “He walked into the karaoke bar like he was the next superstar, but when he started singing, it was pure Raygun—all swagger, no talent.”
Example 2: “She confidently entered the chess tournament, trash-talking every opponent, but her moves were so bad it was a total Raygun moment. Everyone was laughing by the end.”

Raygun

Really bad break dancing moves pulled off by a middle aged woman who is dancing like no-one is watching.

1: Did you see Aunty Sharon at the wedding?

2: Yes she really went full Raygun on us didn't she. Did the kangaroo and everything.
1: We'll have to keep her away from the Chardonnay at Christmas or she'll put her back out

Doing something so awful that people can't tell if it was done that badly on purpose or if the incompetency is through the roof.

Martin's interview was Raygun-level of bad because he told the boss that he knows the head of the gangsters in the Bamboo Union, has a gold chain bigger than Rick Ross, and his daughter is the number one student in Taiwan's kindergartens.
