object lesson

A pretentious and usually insulting or moralizing way for self-absorbed, pseudointellectual people to say "an example to live by."

That douchebag professor just flunked me for plagerizing my paper. He said "Let your failure be an object lesson for your future efforts to decieve."

Fuctoring

Originally coined by software developers, fuctoring has broad business applicability. Fuctoring is the process of adding unnecessary complexity or byzantine logic and process to fight your inevitable career obsolescence. Fuctoring ensures the bulk of your work output is not usable by others in your absence.

"I know I could do this simply, but a little well-planned fuctoring will make it much harder for them to fire me."
