raygunn

A person who has faked their way into a high status position despite their obvious lack of ability or competence.

Example:

He’s in charge but he’s a total raygunn.

I hired them on their skill set and experience but I’ve come to realise they are just another raygunn.

The data is flawed because the team was made up of raygunns that management selected.

There are too many raygunns in our parliament and government department for this country to function properly.

I really hope this new guy doesn’t turn out to be a raygunn.
