Get the L.A. Refermug. An article, poll, study, etc. which on face value would be dismissed, that is cited in progressively more reputable sources, until the original nonsense has credibility.
Person1: “I read on Politico that intero-recto-gestion is actually healthier then eating with your mouth.”
Person2: “That article is total Reference Laundering. If you click on the reference, Politico cited Vox, who cited Mashable, who cited Unicorn Riot, who cited an Onion Article based on a South Park episode.”
Person1: “so I’ve been shoving food up my butt for no reason!”

Get the Reference Launderingmug. Verb. To contact a superior for instructions when faced with a request which you are unable (or unwilling) to approve or deny.
"Refer up" is associated with bureaucratic procedures, and is often considered a form of "passing the buck," i.e., avoiding responsibility in a sticky situation. Nevertheless, there are many circumstances where it is the appropriate response. Here is a good example:
Your Project Manager says that Project A will be implemented on Thursday, no matter what. The Quality Control Manager says that Project A will not be implemented on Thursday because of <insert reason>. The Quality Control manager comes to you and asks, "Project A cannot be implemented on Thursday. Do you concur?" Your best response is to *refer up* to your Project Manager, i.e., to say "I need to refer up to my Project Manager and get back to you."
The concept and expression "refer up" is a prominent theme in the movie Eye in the Sky (2015).

Question: Do I have permission to perform this action?
Answer: I am unable (or unwilling) to give you a definitive answer, so I must refer up to my superior for guidance.

Get the refer upmug. When you are too drunk to remember the phrase "running interference" this is said instead. Someone who says this is probably belligerent.
