Model Magic

The practice of manipulating a financial model to maintain a 2.0x return despite discovering negative information during diligence. This is often achieved by increasing exit multiples, reducing Capex, manipulating working capital assumptions, increasing revenue growth rates and increasing gross margin assumptions among other tactics. This is also sometimes referred to as goal seek modeling where every factor other than purchase price is adjusted to arrive at the desired outcome.
Associate 1: I have some bad news, the Target's recent results are well below the banker model and suggest that the declining revenue and margins are continuing vs turning around.
Associate 2: No problem, I'll just apply a little Model Magic and the return will still be 2.0x

model banger

A pejorative term for people who look down on other people that most would find beautiful and/or are objectively so, due mostly to narcissistic insecurities and an immature, unrealistic concept of beauty.

Usually the model banger is average looking but, nonetheless, with a higher standard for the beauty of others than for their own.

Altough most
_Adam rejected that pornstar who approached him at the party because he didn't like the slight bump on her nose, then tried to approach her when she was with another guy after he got jealous for watching them dancing and kissing.
_And what did she do?.
_She told the other guy what Adam said about her nose, then they both laughed at him and called him a model banger loser.

Ethical model

A person not only encourages others to respect their own bodies and to love themselves by sharing their stories or using their platforms, but also consciously models for ethical fashion brands that help people, the environment, and animals.
