DUI-Hire

A term used to describe both:

A hiring decision perceived as impaired or flawed, suggesting that the decision-makers were "under the influence" of biases or external pressures, leading to the selection of an unqualified or controversial candidate.

The individual who has been hired through such a process, implying they may lack the necessary qualifications or have a controversial background.

Pete Hegseth running a Signal chat fiasco where sensitive military plans were inadvertently shared with a journalist, exemplifies a classic DUI-Hire.

bean soup

"bean soup" is in reference to a tiktok video where a creator posted a recipe for bean soup and then received a comment asking, "what if i don't like beans?"

"bean soup", "being bean souped", or "bean souping" is a phenomena in which a user is unable to recognize that not all content is directed towards them. a normal user would realize they don't identify with the content and move on; a bean souper would interact in opposition - and usually unintelligently, too.

op: "here's how i curl my hair with a curling iron."
bean souper: "what do i do if i don't have any hair?"

sure, jan

"Sure, Jan" is used when you can easily read a family or friend for the filthy liar they are. You say it when you obviously know they are lying but you don't want to call them out in front of everyone. Phrase originated from A Very Brady Sequel.

Marcia- "That's funny, I've never heard of a George Glass at our skül"
Jan- "That's because he's a transfer student. He came in the last week of school. He's really good looking and thinks I'm really cool."
Marcia- "Sure, Jan."
