shuttle diplomacy

What da two shysters in da "Emperor's New Clothes" story had to dispense a lot of in order to alleviate observers' suspicion as to why there was no thread on the weaving-apparatus on their looms.

All of da observing folks in da famous "invisible clothing" tale were absurdly trusting and easily-fooled (well, all except da "innocent little boy", of course), so da two swindlers had a very easy time of succeeding with their "shuttle diplomacy", at least until the parade was underway (by which time they themselves had likely slipped away with their ill-gotten riches and had long-since disappeared). In real life, however, representatives of various countries, governments, and ethnic/religious groups often have a much harder time coaxing trust and cooperation from da leaders and officials of da various territories dat dey hafta visit and work in.

Modified Diploma

A special type of High School Diploma designed specifically for special education students who can't meet the requirements to graduate high school due to a disability. It is basically useless. You can't use it to go to a college or anything. Not even community colleges will accept a Modified Diploma.

Bobby received a Modified Diploma because he was mentally retarded. Now, everyone is congratulating him at graduation even though he didn't have to meet any requirements to graduate.

Egghead Diplomacy

When you spend more time looking for someone to do a task than it takes to do the task.

Quit using egghead diplomacy and do the job.
