banglish

The language the person on the other end of the phone line speaks when you call for customer care.

I needed help with fixing my boot loader but the tech I spoke with only spoke banglish and his brain froze when he got to the end of his script without fixing the problem.

Beta

1. Anything produced by Google.
2. A permanent badge that magically protects a company or organization from litigation and places them above the law.

Gmail is in beta, so if you lose all of your important documents you have stored there when your account is mysteriously shut off seemingly for no reason, you'll know better than to use email as a storage medium.

cash back

An "incentive" offered by companies where they charge you more money and then give it to you at the time of purchase. Also known as "customer cash," cash back is frequently a ploy used by car dealerships and more recently cable TV providers. It plays on greedy consumers' tendency toward impulse buying. To the dealer it sounds like "here's some of the money you're going to pay us" but to the average consumer it sounds like "I can go buy a new car AND a flatscreen TV!"

Come in today and buy a new car and get $2,00 cash back!
