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 For Children

And INSTEAD you decided to be a lying, thieving, charlatan! And now the only thing your kids know is that they don't own their own minds and that they can't know anything because of a vapid skepticism and a mental illness people can just impose on them.

Hym "If you want to be a model for children so bad.... Why don't you model getting stabbing thin the neck repeatedly for them? Because that is what is going to happen to one of them if I don't get paid and credited for that AI and soon. As my symptoms get worse, their lifespans decrease."

Asshole Model

An asshole model is an antique model 100% of the times relating to an asshole. As human assholes come, it could be in all shapes and sizes. The antique asshole model comes from the unique featueres they offer. Usually being from Greek or English backgrounds and always being able to be spread to the most extreme sizes. Asshole models are well known for the large shits that they are able to produce and the large amounts of shit that they can also speak.

Edward how dare you show us your asshole at the dinner table!!! We don't care that you model, we're not shoving the chicken leg up there!!!

Georginio, I would like to introduce you to my friend David. Don't get frisky but he is an asshole model and was hired by Calvin klien yesterday!

Model Minorities

I saw this Indian guy on TikTok or Shorts or Facebook (I think it was Facebook actually) who said not to believe people when they talk about model minority immigrants and their "hard work culture" or the rates of success because he says the US is very strict in regards to who they let in. So, they only let in immigrants who they believe are going to do well. Which skews the studies showing that immigrants are generally more successful"

Hym "The 'Asian work culture' you're talking about relates more to the US only allowing model minorities to immigrate here and is literally killing young men. Japan and South Korea have fairly high suicide rates in the world for that very reason (49th and 4th respectively). 30% of men 27 and younger (in Japan) are virgins. Promoting the culture you are talking about actually has an INVERSE correlation with the outcome you claim to be trying to achieve. Instill the asian work ethic so instead of killing eachother they kill themselves. Business owners make more money off of they labor from which they benefit disproportionately. Sure, gang violence is bad but is corporate wage slavery really any better? It is if you're a fat cock. You get to fuck all the woman. It is if you're a business owner. You get all of the money."
