"Ambition by proxy" refers to a situation where someone delegates ambitious tasks, projects, or goals to another person without actively participating or contributing to the effort themselves. This term implies that the person is seeking to achieve success or recognition vicariously through the efforts of others, rather than taking on the challenges directly.
When my boss constantly assigns me high-profile projects but never offers any support or guidance, it feels like he's practicing ambition by proxy, wanting the glory without putting in the work.

Developer 2: What do you mean?
Developer 1: When I used the original data source it was at least possible to find the exact thing I wanted and now because this shit proxy written by morons is in the way...I can't get it to do anything because they've changed all the search parameters.

Proxy Slur: A term or phrase that is commonly used in a seemingly innocent or neutral manner, but has been assigned a covert, derogatory meaning by specific groups or in certain contexts. The offensive connotation is not apparent to those outside the specific group or context.
"Neighbor": In your example, the word "Neighbor" is a regular term used to describe someone living nearby. However, if two or more parties have agreed to use it as a stand-in for a racial slur, it becomes a proxy slur in their specific interactions.
"Apple": Imagine a scenario where a group uses the word "Apple" to derogatively refer to a person from a certain city or region, unbeknownst to others. In this context, "Apple" functions as a proxy slur.
"Blue Sky": In a hypothetical case, if "Blue Sky" is used among a particular group to negatively refer to a certain ideology or belief system in a covert way, it would be a proxy slur in that context.
