A partner, friend, or colleague who delivers crumbs but acts like they just catered the Last Supper. The self-anointed savior of low effort. They do the absolute least— or less —and then expect devotion, applause, and forgiveness as if they’ve performed a miracle.
Breakdown:
Messiah Complex: Believes their “effort” (aka texting back, showing up two hours late, or finally unfollowing their ex after two months of reminders) is a divine act of service.
Minimalist by Default: Not because they value simplicity, but because anything more than zero feels like labor.
Clap Chaser: The standing ovation they expect is always bigger than the performance they delivered.
Example Usage:
“He finally unfollowed his ex that was still DMing him—after six weeks of me asking. Then he hit me with a ‘you’re welcome’ like he just parted the Red Sea. Certified Bare Minimum Messiah™.”
