brillant

Being incompetent, having a grossly inflated sense of one's competence, and possibly being lazy too, with the result being a very bad (or non-working) design or implementation. Often used in conjunction with the name "Paula". Originates from a post on The Daily WTF (an online forum discussing examples of bad programming practices) where a lazy programmer named Paula had coded exactly five lines of Java for a major project in several months and had managed to bullshit her way through weekly meetings regarding her progress. One of the lines was:

private String paula = "Brillant";

whose sheer elementariness, inappropriateness in production code, narcissism and self-inflation, with a weird spelling for "Brillant" on top of everything else, was deemed memorable.

Fucking Brilliant

!. An expression, particularly popular with the British and the Irish, that means something is really cool, really awesome, top notch, way above expectations.

2. A sarcastic expression of how good something (an idea, etc) is/was.

1. "This is really really fucking brilliant" - Bono (2003, Golden Globes)

2. "Luke, blasting the controls that extend the bridge was fucking brilliant" - Leia (what she would have said if "Star Wars" was not rated PG)

The third and highest level of brilliance. There's Ordinary Brilliant, Absolute Brilliant and then there's Fishmonger Brilliant.

strategically brilliant

The War Criminal in Chief’s typically grandiose self-assessment of his impulsive and ignorant decision to pull US troops out of Syria.

What I’ve done in Syria is quite frankly strategically brilliant; I know you don’t like it but Syria is mostly a lot of sand - and Vlady’s gonna really love me now!

brillant

Not to be confused with brilliant.
