PROXY (software)

PROXY is a licensed software product made by PROXY Networks. Besides being utterly stupid to name any software "proxy" (more widely known as being something completely different in IT networking), the product still looks like it's from Windows 95 and handles more or less to that capacity.

It's complete crap

Idiot help desk tech: My IT shop uses PROXY (software) for remote connections to manage our infrastructure.

Network tech: Wait, why are you using a network proxy for something you need to access remotely?

Every other IT professional: PROXY sucks, use something... literally ANYTHING else.

ambition by proxy

"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.

You know when your wife comes up with ideas for projects for you to do but doesn't plan on helping at all? That's ambition by proxy.

horny by proxy

A phenomenon in which if you watch a person (whether it be a vlogger, an actor, or an influencer) talk openly about their sexual desires with an especially salacious attitude, you start thinking about the object person of your affections/desires. while pondering that, you realize just how much you thirst for that person. As a result, while continuing to watch the content creator speak expressively about their "horniness," you lust after the object of your affections, which subconsciously causes you to be horny for that content creator BY PROXY. this can result in you: "missing sexual intercourse, i.e., missing d**k or p***y, wanting to eat someone out, etc.," or "getting the urge to pleasure oneself."

This is a shortened version of the phrase "horny for someone by proxy."

(this is a work in progress)

I was watching this vlogger talk about how much he misses having sex, and that made me think about how much I miss my bf's phallic object. I got so horny by proxy for him.

(Still a work in progress)

Agunahausen-by-Proxy

Agunahausen-by-Proxy, also referred to as Factitious Agunahood Imposed Knavishly on Another (FAIKA), is a mental health disorder in which a mother presents her daughter as an "Agunah" to her friends, family and community. The behaviour is generally motivated by a mother-in-law seeking to vilify her son-in-law, elicit sympathy and attention and to generate revenue through crownfunding and community charities

I was redt to a girl who seemed nice, but I did some research and found out her mother has Agunahausen-by-Proxy, and I'm not getting into a shvigger matzav like that

Shit Proxy

An interface, implemented by software or business process, built on a source of unmanaged and incoherent data, and acts as poorly or poorer in its behavior than if the original data source was interacted with directly.

Developer 1: This API works in the most unbelieve illogical manner.
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. It's a fucking unique ID just return the fucking data with the Id specified.
