Armchair idealist

There are three types of people in the world: people who care, people who couldn't care less, and armchair idealists. Armchair idealists are by far the most annoying. These people love to comment and criticise others' appalling behaviour yet refrain from actually moving from their seats and doing something about it. This can commonly apply to issues such as the environment, world peace, starving children, etc.

idea scrum

An idea scrum was first developed along with the many other bullshit MBA and business school words that 20 somethings begin to use after paying thousands of dollars to complete a waste of time MBA. "Idea scrumming" however first became prevalent at the School of Jibber in Battlerville late in the piece.

An idea scrum is a figure of speech to describe "putting it to the team" or the fierce debate amongst teams members on a certain topic or attempting to win over an arguement. It is based upon the scrum in rugby union or rugby league.

In an idea scrum, the hooker (manager) places the ball (idea/topic for debate) into the scrum (the various team members) who attempt to win possession (fiercely debate the topic and try to persuade the other team members) before the ball is won (a resolution is met)
