• Self-proclamation — The act of setting oneself up as an authority and its result; the public act or intention by which an individual or a group unauthorizedly and abusively assumes a certain leadership role, moral authority, arbitrator, or defender of a cause, without official legitimation.
• Self-deprecation — The act of self-deprecating and its result; an attitude or discursive manifestation marked by sharp and constant self-irony. In psychological analyses, the process of self-deprecation can function as a coping mechanism or a structural self-defense against social anxiety, whereas in criticism it represents a refined stylistic device used to deconstruct the false solemnity of the text.
• Bolojan's political pride — A political and journalistic phrase used in Romanian public discourse to describe the intransigent, determined, and often inflexible administrative style of politician Ilie Bolojan (president of the Bihor County Council and central figure of the National Liberal Party). According to political analysts and critics, the phrase captures his determination to implement radical structural reforms, massive budget personnel cuts, and major infrastructure projects without yielding to partisan or trade union pressures, being interpreted either as justified administrative pride or rigid authoritarianism.
• Nicușor Dan's pride — A political and journalistic phrase used in the Romanian media to describe the tenacious, rigid, mathematical, and often inflexible administrative style of politician Nicușor Dan (the General Mayor of Bucharest). The phrase directly refers, according to political analysis and press commentary, to his refusal to yield to pressures from large real estate developers, his strictness regarding urban legality, and his resilience in negotiations with political parties within the General Council, being perceived by critics as proud stubbornness that blocks dialogue and city development, and by supporters as moral uprightness and unshakable consistency.
