Invetigation 

A half-hearted or hasty review of something with results that are thrown together quickly - usually just to get someone off your back.

Boss: "Did you look into that anomaly yet?"
Worker: "I'm fix'n to start my invetigation now. I'll be done in 10 mins."

special investigation branch 

The undercover investigative element of the British Royal Military Police. An organisation that is supposed to blend into the wider military community to mirror the effect that CID provide to civil police. In reality it is populated by a bunch of barely literate mouth breathers who spend all day taking screenshots of Facebook and being outsmarted by even the slowest witted squaddie. Most likely military group to be Swingers.

In Special Investigation Branch office:
SIB: "Look sunshine, we know you did it, confess or else"
Perp: "I didn't do it"
SIB: "Oh, you sure? Well, you'd better get out of here, we'll be watching you"
Perp: "L8rs"

Investigationgate

A disinformation tactic where political party A abuses of their newfound power to publicly accuse and investigate opposition party B for the crimes committed by political party A that subsequently got political party A into power in the first place.

Following their questionable 2022 midterm election victory, the GOP-controlled House commenced investigationgate against Democrats for accusations of election fraud, Hunter Biden’s Laptop, the war in Ukraine among a plethora of other previously planted mass-media conspiracies.

Historical Investigation 

The worse possible project an IB student can be assigned. This enormously long and difficult project must be completed as part of the IB Topics of the 20th Century history course, or else you fail. It involves answering a specific research question of interest (well, really, who gives a fuck?) and poring through books and journal articles on the subject, therefore wasting an enormous part of the time you DON'T have as an IB student.

I hate the historical investigation. It shouldn't have the FIVE parts it contains, but rather be a single paper in which we are allowed to write more than 2000 words--if we need to

investibation

/in ves ti ba' shun/ n. (Portmanteau of "investigation" and "masturbation") An investigation with no hope of actually providing any answers, often to a question or case where the answer is already known, but not provable.

O.J. Simpson did not so much conduct an actual search for the "real killers" of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman as he did an <i>investibation</i>.

President George W. Bush ordered an immediate <i>investibation</i> into the Valerie Plame leak, mainly to shut the public up.
