Self-arrogated power, most often used for its own sake. Authority gained for the specific purpose of abusing it. As noted elsewhere, coined and used most often by Eric Cartman, whom no sane adult or child would put in charge of even the most frivolous thing (see "authoritah").
Stan: Oh no, nothing's worse than Cartman with authorita!
