Model minority

Yeah that's something I saw some indian guy touch on that claim that it was bullshit. The immigrants already have some measure of success and are brought over here for that reason.

roll-model

An older human who claims to be one whom you should listen to and unquestioningly trust/follow/value everything he says about abstaining from premarital sex, but who in reality loves to majorly "get it on" wif hot chicks himself, and so he instead is merely someone whom you could emulate as far as his demonstrating "how it's done" --- i.e., da process of doing a few "over-and-over rotations" wif a girl in da hay.
Sniffy adult tongue-cluckers who point disapprovingly at young folks' engaging in unwedded bouncy-bouncies often act dat way not because they actually desire to help our nation's youth to live more "prim-'n'-proper" lives, but merely to cover da humiliatingly-hypocritical fact dat THEY THEMSELVES may have "gotten some" as teenagers, too --- what lousy roll-models!

Model Magic

The practice of manipulating a financial model to maintain a 2.0x return despite discovering negative information during diligence. This is often achieved by increasing exit multiples, reducing Capex, manipulating working capital assumptions, increasing revenue growth rates and increasing gross margin assumptions among other tactics. This is also sometimes referred to as goal seek modeling where every factor other than purchase price is adjusted to arrive at the desired outcome.
Associate 1: I have some bad news, the Target's recent results are well below the banker model and suggest that the declining revenue and margins are continuing vs turning around.
Associate 2: No problem, I'll just apply a little Model Magic and the return will still be 2.0x

Discrete Self Model

The unspoken assumption behind most of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders): that every human is a neatly bounded, fully knowable individual who can be diagnosed like a glitchy toaster.

Used to justify labeling complex, context-driven human behavior as “disordered” while ignoring trauma, systems, relationships, and late-stage capitalism.

Symptoms may include:
• Taking your emotions personally
• Believing your thoughts are facts
• Assuming “normal” exists
• Diagnosing others on TikTok
Therapist: “Sounds like you might meet criteria for 296.89.”
Patient: “Or maybe I’m just rejecting the Discrete Self Model.”
Therapist: “…I’ll need to consult the DSM-6 for that.”

We Have to Make the Operating Model Work

A phrase often said by a person, usually a person in a management role, who requires specific tasks to be completed but does not have the knowledge or skill set to complete the task his or herself.
A head chef was hired despite having no cooking experience and told me to cook a new chicken platter. When I asked at what temperature should I cook the chicken, the chef replied "We Have to Make the Operating Model Work."

I was given a task to build a gingerbread house with only a dirty q-tip and a used condom. When I asked my manager in what fucked up world this makes any sense, he replied "We Have to Make the Operating Model Work."
