Get the stake me to an anthill mug.Related Words
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.
