(Noun) - The Greek God of being wrong. Actually the Latin and Greek spelling of the name Herod a common name before Herod the Great, Herodes Magnamus, tried to kill baby Jesus. He kinda screwed up the future of that name.
"I prayed to the Greek god Herodes yesterday and nothing happened because he doesn't f***ing exist."
"My dad told me I wasn't going to amount to anything in life, so I prayed to Herodes to make him be wrong it didn't work."
"Remember when Herodes tried to kill Jesus?" "Yeah, that was a dick move."

I didn't care what anyone else thought of his wedding speech in the marquee; one way or another, unaccustomed to public speaking as he was, it drove me to the edge of sanity. So in the end I just got up there when he was finished and for the next three hours, until the Security bundled me out the flap, I decided to out-Herod Herod and went for it.

A person who always thinks that thigs are too small or too simple and proceeds to make them more elaborate, even ostentatious.
He just couldn't be happy with the car he found on the showroom floor. He had to pull a Herod the Great and pimp it out to no end. The DVD player is cool, but the jacuzzi in the back seat is a little much.

This is when white male,elitists, work to derail ascending white men or boys of lower classes, in order to neutralize a potential power structure threat to the current elitists. The term comes from King Herod of the Bible, whom ordered the slaughter of males 2 years and under( trying to destroy Jesus), whom he felt was a threat to his power. They promote only white males of their class and tokenly promote women and minorities as they do not feel they are a threat to the current power structure. Male students in public schools are ignored and their normal boy to man maturity is stifled by a system bent on keeping them from challenging for an elitist position.
Although Joe had worked ,studied hard to get out of the poverty stricken trailer park , he never could make it to the circle of influence in the company because of the Herod Phenomenon.
