dropped like a lead balloon

1. "Dropped like a lead balloon" is a phrase, not a word, but it is none the less an old expression that means literally and/or figuratively that something will not fly. That it will drop like a rock, etc...
He told the boss his new idea for the ad campaign and it dropped like a lead balloon. There was no way that the boss would approve such a risky & shoddy scheme.

This is a phrase used when also pointing at the floor 'you dropped your gay card" the other person automatically looks at what your pointing to, without realising what you said.

Gratuitous Jesus Dropper

One who subtly inserts religious themes in a business metting in an effort to gain unearned trust or respect. Often you will see this behavior in those who end their message with "Have a blessed day."
Enough with Terence being a Gratuitous Jesus Dropper. He proudly proclaimed he would "get to the bottom of the unethical and inappropriate actions of his team" before stating he "had to leave the meeting early to teach his child's CCD class". We know he has no intention of unearthing the violations of his team members, but subconsciously suggested he will do the right thing as a "Man of God."
