Dorbism 

Derived from the term "Don't Rock the Boat" (DoRB), Dorbism describes the tendency inherent in many senior managers, or those with a stake in a system, to do nothing to improve services, address problems or tackle problematic people/issues.

A reluctance to act as a positive change agent due to the perceived risk that such action will be viewed negatively by superiors or others with influence (including the press)

Despite the Government's recent cuts in funding for education, the Dorbism of university Vice Chancellors is clear from their relative silence on the matter.

My boss is proving to be rather dorbist on the matter of recent staff redundancies

Dorbist 

Derived from the phrase "Don't Rock the Boat" (DoRB), Dorbist is a term used (as either noun or adjective) to describe the tendency inherent in senior managers, or others with a stake in a system, to take no action to improve services, address problems or tackle problematic people/issues that are obvious to those working under them.

Someone exhibiting reluctance to act when faced with obvious problems or other negative consequences flowing from the poor/misguided/ill-informed decisions of their seniors.

Derived from Dorbism: a reluctance to act as an agent for positive change due to the perceived risk that such action will be viewed negatively by superiors, or those perceived as having 'power' or influence (including the press)

Despite the Government's recent cuts in funding for education, it is clear that most university Vice Chancellors are Dorbist from their relative silence on the matter.

The inherent Dorbism of my boss is clear from her complete passivity in the face of recent staff redundancies

dorkism 

Much like the monks, a person who studies dorkism usualy meditates under many books, has very few friends and is prone to subtle spurts of Aqumininininism, has very few friends, if any, are under the leadership of the high dork.... in this case Steven Hawkings.

Created by Irish settelers of South East Asia and South Dakota.

"The followers of dorkism read the book for dorkismnes."

Doryism

To say something random. Normally results in been given strange looks and being called 'Dory', even though the words sounded perfectly logical within the speakers head.

"Keep on swimming!"
or
"Blah, blah, blah de blah. Wow, Squidgey."
"Oh, Dory!"

dorkismo 

The inner pride and self-confidence that permits a dork to operate freely and without fear of opprobrium or censure. The capacity for opening up and reveling in one's own dork nature.

The actor Steve Buscemi is simply bustin' with dorkismo.
