People Trader

A political animal in corporate or financial world. Someone that gets rich, but not necessarily makes money for his or her employer. Usually someone that has an overwhelmingly technical disability compensated by his or her astonishing capability kissing some serious ass.

I can't believe Dave got that management spot, he can't add 2 and 2.

Yeah but he's an awesome People Trader, though.

people skills

Having the basic intelligence, charm, wisdom, and sense of humor to communicate and get along with strangers, usually the public, successfully.

Good people skills include honesty, sincerity, strong eye contact, communicative body language, and being all around friendly and helpful. Understanding the general tone, rhythms, and inflections of conversation and how to best address them is also a skill.

She lacks the people skills required to be in sales.

People of land 

Umbrella term for any type of landlord or commercial property owner.

The term is frequently used in the advocacy of the rights and interests of one of the marginalized groups in society: landlords. Landlords are frequently the targets of severe anti-PoL bigotry and landphobia from rentoids and chapocels leveling landphobic accusations such as “being a landlord is not a real job”, “landlords contribute nothing to society” and “landlords are leeches on the working class”.

People of land is one the most oppressed and marginalized groups in society.

People's Republic of Pineland 

Used in Army Special Forces community as the ficticous name for about 14 or 15 counties of North Carolina.

While going through Special Forces training the final element is a several week long exercise called Robin Sage. It takes place in these counties of N.C. During the exercise you plan and carry out operations as though you're in the imaginary People's Republic of Pineland. The exercise starts with a parachute infiltration of Pineland followed by a series of exercises training "guerillas" operating in the area.

Every once in a while a soldier going through the SF Q course will accidentally interact with a local who doesn't realize their in Pineland. But most of the locals in the community will particiapte in the exercise playing civilians and are aware the Army uses the area they live in for training. A local sherrif once shot a couple soldiers who thought he was part of the exercise after they tried to bribe him with Pineland money.

Soldier 1: how ya doing buddy?

Soldier 2: got my ass through SERE, now its on to the People's Republic of Pineland and I'm done.
