Truth is the most offensive thing of all.

Initial Public Offering

(FINANCE) when a corporation "goes public"; the first sale of stock by a corporation. All sales of stock or bonds on the stock market require the services of an underwriter, or investment bank. Outside of the USA and China, it is common for regular banks to offer underwriting for corporations.

Incorporation is a legal status that allows (but by no means requires) a firm to issue stock. Moreover, once a corporation lists stock, it does not necessarily do so on a major exchange. Some corporations areclosely held, which means they have a small number of shareholders who are mostly affiliated with management; other corporations are "private," which means they have no stock issues at all, and control/shares of profits are determined contractually.

Some corporations have issues of stock, and that stock is traded, but it is not listed. Instead, it is traded on the "pink pages." Such companies are usually in a bad way, but not necessarily.

An IPO is the first issue of stock by a corporation THAT DOESN'T ALREADY have a listed stock. If a company is "taken private" (i.e., bought out by a PE fund and de-listed) then it can have another IPO (or "sponsored IPO"). Most likely, however, if a listed company will need to raise money on the stock market, it will have a "follow-on offering."

A fantasy of many entrepreneurs is "going public" with a big initial public offering, and retiring to a beachfront mansion.

non-offensive swears

For all the religious people out there, they can now get away with cuss words by doing the following:

- Instead of the "F" word, say "Vuck," which sounds very close.
- Instead of the "S" word, say "Shi," but say it like ur about to put in the T but not.

If you put enough stress into these words, it will sound like the real thing.

"Oh, vuck, i left my shi at home."

non-offensive swears

Kind of like non-alcoholic beer, or decafinated sugar-free soda. Why swear if you're not going to piss people off?

"Fudge, sugar, butt, witch, Booke Shields" just isn't as good as "fuck, shit, ass, bitch, Barbara Striesand".

pissed-offedness

A ratio of being pissed off and being offended at any given time: A measurement of the anger you feel toward people, things, or events at a specific moment.

1. "My pissed-offedness cranked up after the waiter came outside to say we didn't tip him."

2. "It gave me a feeling of pissed-offedness."

3. "That goat fuck niggerriggery is not helping my pissed-offedness."
