Oh, business lingo is the worst. Almost as bad as the awful nicknames they give one another. I actually met a guy (I'm not kidding) who was called "Fastcash". I have no idea what he did. He was short and looked very tan.
What's really appalling about business lingo is that men use it there whole lives. I'll sometimes play cards with my old man at the golf course when I'm home and these old guys will throw the most toolish sounding nicknames and buzzwords at one another. God bless 'em, I guess. Whatever gets you through "the alcoholic haze of soft middle age..."*
I have vowed never to discuss Old School again. I just can't go there.
