An employee of a school district that is, despite his / her title as an educator, less concerned with education than making friends with students. Buddy teachers have no classroom management, assign little or no work, watch a lot of movies, and allow students to call them by their first names. Extreme buddy teachers buy alcohol for, host parties for, lie to parents for, or even date their older students.

A cultural and aesthetic mind-state that prioritizes making money, even as an “underground” or “radical” creator. The work isn’t made for money, but it’s the money that matters the most.
