Girl Power

One of the least useful traits of the minor super hero Girlgirl.

There was nothing special about GirlGirl, until an unlikely accident with some toxic chemicals, a platypus and a hair brush gave her Girl Power: the incredible power to act like an ordinary girl.

PHB

Literally "Pointy Haired Boss" as featured in the long running Dilbert cartoons by Scot Adams. The phrase suggests an office manager with above average incompetance, general cluelessness and an ability to prevent anyone else in the office from doing any useful work.

Actual pointy hair is not a requirement for PHBs, but there is strong annecdotal evidence that they will rapidly develop the distinctive hairstyle.

My PHB asked me if the firewall was a serious fire hazard.
