burn and turn

A management practice that uses middle managers as scapegoats to perpetuate existing conditions. In situations where senior management and workers are invested in retaining current practices and customs a middle manager will be tasked to "Cean things up". However, the manager will meet passive aggression and mobbing from both superiors and subordinates that socially isolates and frustrates all but the most basic changes. After the middle manager is "Burned Out" and frustrated after a period of time, the manager will either quit or be fired for ineffectivness. In this way the status quo is maintained and blame can be assinged to the middle manager for failure. A new middle manager will be hired and the cycle will repeat itself. This is the turning phase

smurf turf

A phrase that people outside of Boise use to refer to Boise State's famous blue fieldturf.

People who live in Boise or people who claim to be BSU football "fans" that use the phrase are either A) not actual Bronco fans, or are B) bandwagon fans that jumped on after the Fiesta Bowl win (the 'A' type of fan also applies here).

"Can you believe that guy down at Buster's referred to Bronco Stadium as 'the smurf turf'? We kicked his ass out of the bar for that garbage."
