Theater Kid

A derogatory colloquial term to describe a person whose education and areas of expertise are based solely in the humanities, yet somehow ends up in a position of power and/or authority that requires a much more concrete skill set. Tends to use obfuscation and snark whenever pressed to demonstrate actual competence in their job, and usually responds to dismissal by posting video of themselves crying to social media. Invariably first to go in the private sector when workforce reductions hit, but can often thrive and even enjoy lifetime reelections to public office.
