Never Outshine the Master

The first rule from the book the 48 laws of power. It means to never ever show the full extent of your talents if it looks like it will pass your superior's.

Explanation: Superiors whether its teachers or bosses are just like any other people. They have insecurities and egos. Once you expose them they will do their best to bring you down to show they are at the top.

Applicable in business, education, relationships
Jane was confused why she was fired even though she was the most talented worker in the company. She didn't realize she made her boss insecure and should Never Outshine The Master.

Don't Neglect the Balls 

Words used to describe a person in your workplace who possesses a PhD in Epic Douchebaggery.

A typical "DNB" will do things far beyond what any normal person will do to please their superiors; often without any additional compensation, reward or recognition.

DNB's alienate their peers due to their weasely kissy-ass nature, and often believe they hold an advanced supervisory position - often implied by their boss in order to boost their ball attentiveness.
Boss - "I see you are making deliveries after work on your own time...but don't neglect the balls!"

Employee - "Gargle Gargle!" ("Yes Sir!")

Boss - "Um, SURE you're the nightshift super*mumble*...as long as you keep letting me know who's goofing around!"

Employee - "Gargle Gargle!"

The protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James 

The idea that you must fight corruption (and probably) toasters in any capacity you have, particularly when they occur in government. The calling card of those opposing the toaster revolution, a cause that some say isn't really about kitchen appliances but about hostile governments, evil walrii and vikings under Norway battling for world domination.
The evil walrii, said to already have subversively conquered most of North america, and if they wanted to, Mexico, are secretly infamous for installing fake robot governments and hiding the truth about Canada.
Violent uprisings widely and inaccurately publicized as "elections" or "world summits" demonstrate the public's growing concern at the threat the walrii pose to both humanity and the eyes (they are hideous).
It has been claimed that the protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James, is a real man, and the leader of the opposition to the toaster revolution, there is much debate on the issue and "what it all means".
Of those that believe he exists some say he is a gentleman and a scholar, others denounce him as merely being drunk.
No one knows where he was born, his age, or his favorite color. Even under torture this information would not be revealed by he or his "associates", or randomly selected members of the public. The mystery remains.
Man, idea or nonsense the name is central in the "toaster revolution" as a symbol against corruption, deceit and all things evil in government and kitchenware stores.
"The protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James"
"ZZZZZ"
"Not again!"

"These toaster lover sure are lazy!"

"It's just too long!"

"What is?"

"The name. I mean the protester formerly known as SI- Dammit Frank!"

"ZZZ-What?!"

"Never mind let's just take over this joint."

"Right"

"OK. In the name of the for-"

"ZZZZZ"

"God dammit!"
