press rifle

(from PR - "public relations" and transformed into "press rifle") public relations practices from press releases that correct unfavorable statements to complex crisis management when PR specialists and managers need to act like a QRF - quick reaction force, not to leave the incident, rumor, claim or charge without comment, especially when the accusations made by the press (or media in general) are aggressive and require adequate response similar to counter-attack with precise and effective hit on the charge, thus similar to using a rifle;

The agency used the best of their press rifle practices to suppress the media chatter and counter the charges against the chairman of the company.

fakebook liker

a fake Facebook profile created to increase the number of likers of a fan-page and interaction on the wall (wall-posting, comments, sharing, liking etc.)

Tom: Wow, you have a nice number of fans on your fan-page.
John: Yeah, right... The truth is that half of them are fakebook likers.
Tom: What?
John: I created fake profiles to boost the number of likers a bit and interaction on the company's Facebook fan-page. I post something and then I log as Tim Doherty, Jen Smith etc. who are not real people, but just fake profiles, the fakebook likers commenting, sharing my post etc. Without them, there wouldn't be any interaction at all.

no-comments-but-crisis policy

a policy and a way of dealing with one's company that has been widely in use since the media/banks/governments reported a financial crisis; it is a justification for various actions: staff reductions, cancelled payrise, lowered wages though none of these are necessary (because the company is doing well and needs no changes); it is a perfect explanation for everything if your general manager plans to fire some employees/cut wages and needs a good reason;

George: Crap, we're going to have staff reductions!
Will: What?
George: Yup, there were rumors, so we asked our boss about it, and despite good results of our company, half of us is going to be fired. We asked why and we heard that it was due to the financial crisis. End of story. Another example of no-comments-but-crisis policy.

veni, vidi, wiki

refers to a Latin sentence "veni, vidi, vici" - "I came, I saw, I conquered" by Julius Caesar - in this case it means "I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia" ("wiki" instead of "vici") and describes a tendency to look for solution to every problem or answer to any question in Wikipedia without considering any other source;

John: That's a nice essay.
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki, bro!
John: Veni-what?
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki. I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia! I just typed the topic and I got all the answers. No library, no sitting with books till midnight. I conquered!

passer-drive

a person you work with and who could give you a lift to work or home as he/she drives there by car, but does not do it as he/she focuses so much on driving and the road that he/she does not see you standing on the sidewalk and waiting for a bus;

in fact he/she would not see you even if there was nothing around except for the bus stop and you;

sometimes it is done on purpose because the person simply does not give a damn about you standing there and waiting

Morgan: Hey man! What took you so long? The boss asked about you.
Jake: Damn buses and damn Jackson!
Morgan: What?
Jake: Yup, the bus broke down and the other one was to come in 20 minutes. I saw Jackson in his Taurus, I waved, but of course he pretended that he didn't see me. Sorry-ass passer-drive!
