Business Jargon Explained

// January 31st, 2007 // Personal

The Business Jargon Dictionary has a comprehensive list of business-speak including some absolute gems. So if you have no idea how to Think Outside the Box, or Repurpose your Initiatives then check it out.

Some of my favourites:

Assmosis [v.] The apparent absorption of success that comes from sucking up.

Deceptionist [n.] A receptionist whose job is actually to delay or block potential visitors. Ruthless with a polite, perfect smile.

RDB [n.] Rectal DataBase. The origin of ideas that are pulled out of one’s ass.
