brillant 

Being incompetent, having a grossly inflated sense of one's competence, and possibly being lazy too, with the result being a very bad (or non-working) design or implementation. Often used in conjunction with the name "Paula". Originates from a post on The Daily WTF (an online forum discussing examples of bad programming practices) where a lazy programmer named Paula had coded exactly five lines of Java for a major project in several months and had managed to bullshit her way through weekly meetings regarding her progress. One of the lines was:

private String paula = "Brillant";

whose sheer elementariness, inappropriateness in production code, narcissism and self-inflation, with a weird spelling for "Brillant" on top of everything else, was deemed memorable.
"Have a separate table for each customer instead of a field in a single table? That's brillant!"

Not to be confused with brilliant.

Adjective, indicating an amazing lack of skill coupled with an incredible blindness to aforementioned lack of skill.

That one 6 ft absolute chad who shows up to a party then which after whilst you are playing tf2 makes you give him a gawk gawk 3000 whilst you are sitting in a $399 pewdiepie gaming chair, whilst he screams hate speech at you and calls you a pencil dick. He will also force you to give him a upside down triple twisty gawky 9000 at any moment he wants, he will do it. But he is a big bro and really funny.
P1: That guy over there is the host of this party

P2: He looks like a Bryland.
