Nouveau Teche

Similar to nouveau riche, nouveau teche are non-tech companies that have very recently called themselves "a Tech Company".

They often talk loudly about buzzwords of the day like blockchain, AI, ML, Big Data, IoT. More prolific ones use chained combos to impress, like "we use Big Data IoT with Blockchained AI to drive our candle making business."
You got to be amused by the number of nouveau teche coming into the Bay Area these days.

Digital Lipgloss

A sought-after cosmetic used to increase the digital-ness of Big Corporates in non-tech industries. Just like putting lipstick on a pig, putting digital lipgloss on a company can make it more attractive.
i-Bricks? Sounds like a load of digital lipgloss!

humourification

The conversion of something solemn or serious, often with associated stature, into something that is funny, slapstick and even ridiculous.
The humourification of the POTUS is so very unbecoming.

FeignTech

Fake or badly thought out technology ideas trying to pass of as legit technology innovator or disruptor.

talent repellent

A nasty fragrance worn by Fat Cat bureaucrats who believe technical talents can be easily found and replaced and should be as cheap as last week's lettuce at the local supermarket.
Oh, him. He's such a talent repellent no one wants to work for him!

fat cat meow

A highly valued output by very senior executives and politicians hugely appreciated by their peers.

The higher their pay and the lesser work they do, the louder and more screeching their fat cat meow. It has an infectious effect on nearby cats of the same fur.
The meeting today was so full of fat cat meows it was almost entertaining!
That meeting was so full of fat cat meows it was painfully amusing!

dork-com boom

A movement started around 2015 when lots of companies herded towards "becoming a tech company", driven primarily by the fear of loosing out.

Dork-com companies are those who lost sight of their core business and shed their best people to embrace a new "digital business" that never took off.

These companies will subsequently be seen in the same light as Y2K, the Kool Kardashain Kard and selfie sticks.
Good new, our largest competitor joined the dork-com boom!
