The Get-Me-The-Hell-Outta-Here
A spoken, comically brutal vessel name that exists only as rapid-fire dialogue: a breathless label staff sling at one another to christen an approaching, overloaded refugee boat. It has no physical form; its texture is tonal—sharp, sardonic, and audible in the room. Senior aides snort, smirk, and trade the phrase like a talisman, using its cadence to cut tension and pivot conversation from levity into coordinated crisis work.

Purpose
Rhetorical shorthand used by senior staff to personify and quickly frame an incoming refugee vessel during urgent discussion and decision-making.
Significance
Functions as a tonal and narrative fulcrum: the joke compresses panic into a single, recognizable image, enabling the team to move from PR banter to moral and operational choices. The name humanizes and ridicules the chaos simultaneously, sharpening stakes and catalyzing the staff's shift into humanitarian planning.
