The James Corden Effect

When the writer, songwriter, or prevalent actor inserts the self into a work they are not cut out for, talent-wise.

Named after English actor and talk show host James Corden because of the popular belief that he does not possess the ability to be in all the movie musicals that he, inevitably, stars in.

Lin Manuel Miranda is the embodiment of The James Corden effect, no one wants him there but he’s there because he created it.

career

Similar to a 'job' or 'work'... Usually means that you are stuck at the same pay level that you start with. No chance for advancement and someone else will pass you for a promotion even if they are less qualified as long as they know the right people (Or have the right parents/family members). Also usually requires a piece of paper that you spent thousands of dollars on which you will never make back. The only people that will give this a thumbs down are people that had their 'education' paid for by their rich parents... They are very defensive when it comes to the truth being spoken out loud... People screw people over to get rich, that is how it works...

Jack: Hey Daniel, what have you been doing with your life lately?
Daniel: Oh you know... Doing the career thing. (Usually means giving up your soul and putting up with a tyrants bullshit just to pay rent because things were never handed to you for free...)

This way you come into the interview with the career capital you need to be the best person for the job.

Corbett

A unit of measurement of martial prowess. A single corbett being the equivalent of one 'Ronnie Corbett' (OBE and diminutive comedian) defeated in unarmed combat to the death. Subsequent corbetts are presumed to be attacking in concert. ie if a man was rated six corbetts, he would be able to defeat six Ronnie Corbetts simultaneously.

Don't mess with that guy, he'll fucking destroy you, he must be about fify corbetts.
