Paperweighting
when a bureaucracy reaches a level of red tape such that it runs in a full circle.
usually involving a lot of “not my department” and ending, after much effort, back where one began in the process.
this occurs at such a level that not only does it benefit no-one, but it actually costs everyone in the chain.
the term derives from the subjective feeling of unnecessary, nonsensical paperwork actually crushing your chest like a weight, effecting breathing.
1. “government made emergency funds available for a crisis,
but the b-tches are still paperweighting me; ima bout t kills a b-atch”
