About this ebook

There's language...and then there is the language of business. In today's offices, you're as likely to hear kitchen-sinked or sticker shock as capitalization and balance sheet. With the international marketplace and the prevalence of text messaging, the vocabulary of business is constantly evolving. This evolution has left many a step behind, wondering:

• Should you blush if your boss tells you to put some pants on it?
• Could you be fired for frazzing?
• What's the correct reaction to a bozo explosion?
• How does a dot snot act around the office?

You will find answers to these questions and more in BizzWords, defining the new buzzwords of business. Written in a sophisticated and slightly irreverent style, BizzWords is an engaging guide to today's essential, edgy business terms and expressions.
