corporatelalia

Obtuse, vague, and confusing verbiage crapped out in official documents by corporations and their lawyers. Meant to mislead and confuse, and to promote a prescribed company line. Also see corporatespeak, legalese, and marketing.

That memo e-mailed out by HR this morning was so full of corporatelalia, I don't know what the hell is going on at this office.

danish giraffe

A person you are utterly dismissive, disrespectful, of scornful of, to the point you don't care if they live or are killed for being 'genetically unsuitable'. References the Copenhagen Zoo's controversial practice of culling their stable of healthy giraffes, by slaughtering them in front of schoolchildren.

Damn, son - you're a cold-hearted S.O.B., dissing your bae like a danish giraffe.
