A fictitious rank for someone who believes that they are a genius military leader (or at least more competent than their actual military leaders), due specifically to their lower-level military experience.
Typically found among former soldiers who end up in positions of authority, and believe that their being in the army once, and being from the rank and file and not an officer, makes them more qualified to make big decisions than actual officers, despite said officers potentially having made such big decisions for many years, but who were obviously out of touch because they'd started their careers as officers and had spent most of their time behind desks.
Similar to the armchair general, but with the caveat of even the tiniest amount of military service instantly making them more qualified than other armchair generals.

"And so Hitler the Corporal-General, remembering his time as a corporal in the trenches of the Western Front, declared that putting more resources into producing flamethrowers would win the war, much to the chagrin of his generals, who had instead been trying to get him to allocate more divisions to repel the allied invasion of Sicily."

Get the Corporal-general mug.Pulling a corporal beanbag is sitting in a corner, camping. You offer up all your supplies like the common whore you are. As your team gets pushed you piss, shit, and cum in your little corner. When you die you blame the Delta Circle.

Get the Corporal Beanbag mug.A term used to reference how the minute after Pride Month ends, a majority of corporations and other companies who were pretending to be supportive immediately go back to pretending LGBTQ+ people aren't a thing.
Dang, I thought Target would have changed and kept on selling Pride-themed stuff after June, but it looks like its all gone.
Well that's just Corporations after June 30th, innit?

Get the Corporate mug.A corporation isn't a democracy, because there is a hierarchy. As long as a hierarchy exists, everyone doesn't make the same money at work, everyone doesn't have the same power, because a hierarchy will not allow for that to happen. How much of a boost for people's morale is it really to know that there is a hierarchy and if some people are not in control of it, they want to discard the old one and start a new, fresh one. (not to really bring justice and equality to all, that's been the lie that many have used to rise to power while the world is still as fucked up and unjust as it ever was today, but to benefit from their claims of things that sound good to the masses)
A corporation is not much of a democracy, though it's said to be and supposed to be, in actuality it's closer to a feudal system where the people that feed the masses don't really have to give a fuck about them.

Get the Corporation mug.The one word that's used to describe a company or companies that care more about making money instead of why they exist in the first place.
Disney, YouTube, Nintendo, Netflix, and Facebook are examples of that.

Get the Corporate mug.Corporate graffiti is a term used to describe leftover whiteboard content found in a pandemic-abandoned office building. Corporate graffiti paints a picture of a long-forgotten time, when sales figures, design decisions, and metrics masked our collective burnout.
Wow, the corporate graffiti in this office building is crazy - someone was designing a metaverse for old people!
