Admiralled 

Verb. To be admiralled: Promoted to a position where you are next in line to be blamed, fired or even snuffed out.

Taken from Darth Vader's proclivity to force-choke Admirals who had not performed their duties satisfactorally, and promote the next man in line to Admiral... hence condemning him to a similar fate when the next mistake was made.

"You have failed me for the last time Admiral Ozzel... choking... You are in command now Admiral Piett."
Oh Christ, I've just been admiralled up to Senior Account Director, that's my career finished when the sales figures come out next month.
