Jaboukie Maneuver

When a blue check Twitter user changes their name and profile photo to parody a public figure or organization, and tweets satirically from their account, pretending to be the aforementioned figure or organization. This maneuver may result in the temporary suspension of your account and permanent removal of your blue check mark. Named after comedian Jaboukie Young-White who legendarily lost his blue check mark and had his account suspended after pretending to be CNN on Twitter and tweeting about Presidential candidate Joe Biden.

"Hey man, why can't I see his tweets?"
"Oh, it's because he got suspended for performing the Jaboukie Maneuver. He pretended to be the FBI and tweeted about MLK."
