|
Leveraging yourself to get an action or result from someone in order to ascertain the result(s) to further press-on with the problem at hand or come to a conclusion. I am going to give John the death elbow if he doesn't come through with the sales forecast he quoted us!

March 22, 2005 Urban Word of the Day
A business euphemism for "the reason I'd like you to think I'm useful." My value add on this project is to leverage best-known-methods (BKMs) to focus on strategies leveraging core competencies moving forward synergistically to achieve our mutual business objectives.

| 4. | scam | ||
|
The act of shadily leveraging an oppurtunistic situation for some sort of personal again, at the expense of a faceless corporation or complete stranger. Scams are rarely illegal, but require a good eye for the oppurtunity, clever manipulation of the situation, loose morals, and confidence in your ability to fabricate lies. Scams can be as simple as getting drive-thru then stopping back 10 minutes later to say they forget one of the burgers, or as complex as...well, the sky's the limit. Despite the shadiness of a scam, the person perpetutating the scam, the "scam-artist", is usually a very intelligent, well integrated member of society who merely never passes up an oppurtunity. Guy1: Dude, lets scam our way into the movies tonight, because there is no way I'm paying $10 for some cliche, poorly written Hollywood crap-fest.
Guy2: Alright, I'm in. |

| 5. | leverage | ||
|
A meaningless buzzword forged from the furnaces of Hell by Satan's wordsmiths. It used to mean 'use efficiently' or 'share', but today it is inserted into every other sentence in the IT business world to make typical ideas and sentences sound grander. Let's be proactive in saving our clients money by leveraging our assets over all of our outsourcing accounts.
If we leverage our human capital on these two deals, we can realize some soft dollar savings. |
