kurtsteinerpl's definitions
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.

Get the no-comments-but-crisis policymug. a state of depression, lack of energy, bad mood and unwillingness to do anything, strongly connected with autumn/fall, raining and cold, windy weather; a kind of seasonal apathy that sometimes also covers winter (when winter looks more like autumn, without snow etc.)
Mark is a cheerful person, great to hang out with, but somehow his mood depends on the weather. When autumn starts, he is in a fall-falling state: does not want to go anywhere, walks around the house without any purpose etc.

Get the celebritonmug. 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.

Get the fakebook likermug. (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.
