Meaningless term used in meetings by powerful bureaucrats to subdue dissenters while gaining respect, cooperation, and sympathy from
sheeple. The word performs multiple functions at once: 1) it conveys a farcical title upon attendant
sheeple, giving them a false sense of self-importance for which they feel thankful to the bureaucrat; 2) it conveys a false sense of empathy, causing attendant
sheeple to view the bureaucrat favorably; 3) it gives the bureaucrat the appearance of magnanimity, which in turn makes the bureaucrat seem reasonable and dissenters unreasonable.
Example:
School Board Meeting:
Dissenter: Mr. Bureaucrat, how is it possible that our children remain
illiterate despite their having attended our district schools for 13 years?
Bureaucrat: Mr. Dissenter, all of us in this room are stakeholders in our wonderful district that is filled with hardworking, selfless
teachers and administrators; your undue criticism is damaging all of us.
