    People who describe themselves as "entrepreneurs", "influencers", "founders", "co-founders", "philanthropists", "disrupters". Doesn't that just scream "bull****"?

    I worked with someone who stated on their linkedin page that they are a "self-proclaimed expert" in their field. ****in' hell :pac:

    I bought a Mars bar for €1.20 from a charity sweet box. Does that make me a philanthropist?

    If someone introduced themselves as a disrupter I'd disrupt their facial features.

    No Dan that makes you extremely gullible. Jokes aside, when I see someone described as a 'community worker' on BBC newsline (The nordie news) I automatically think former terrorist who nobody in the 'hood' dares fvck with.

    People that say "I'm mad" are usually anything but.

    "Influencer" sounds like the lad on a 7-a-side soccer team that breaks people up.

    "Philanthropist" - well done, you've just spent money on something other than yourself. Here's the Freedom of the City you complete tool of a chap.

    "Full time mammy" - get a job and/or stop having kids.

    It's akin to seeing something for €9.99, no it's automatically a tenner in my head.

    First they came for the socialists...

    WTF? You don't say that about yourself, that's just weird. You just say "expert", if there's no known merit to it, other people will add the "self-proclaimed" bit :confused:
