Definition

An annoying coworker who lacks original ideas and instead mimics everything you say or do, while simultaneously being full of himself about it. Like a broken mirror that talks back—without the self-awareness to realize how ridiculous he looks.

Example Usage

Todd is such a Mr. Mimic—you joke about the weather and suddenly he's making the exact same joke ten minutes later like he invented it.
