magpie

don't look that scary unless you know what they can do

will swoop you and poke your eyes out if you disturb them

some bikers wear zip ties on their helmets to keep them away

at some point in the year a lot of magpies will come out and that's when swooping season starts

me: "watch out for that magpie, you might not come home alive"

friend 1: "..."

Me: 'no that's magpie bro, it was cream'

Beer Magpie

A good friend who deliberately steals some of your beer while you are otherwise occupied, i.e. going to a toilet, adoring a pretty girl/boy/centipede, while you are in a bar.

Oh f*ck, I think that Beer Magpie did it again. (staring at a half empty beer glass)

Magpie

A practice common in Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire of saluting magpies to ward of bad luck from seeing one.

One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven a secret that should never be told

Magpie Mentality

Magpie Mentality in recruitment refers to the behaviour of serial appliers—candidates who apply indiscriminately to every job they see, driven by a compulsive attraction to new or “shiny” opportunities, regardless of their relevance or suitability. This scattergun approach often signals poor career focus, a lack of commitment, and raises red flags for recruiters and hiring managers who view such behaviour as inconsistent, unreliable, and ultimately unhirable.

I thought she was serious about the marketing role, but then she applied for a forklift driver job the same day—total magpie mentality.
