A man, or woman, who ruthlessly hijacks or liberates an idea from a well-heeled, intelligent veteran professional. Jackals will liberate ideas moments after you have announced the idea, and somehow spin it to make it look like it was their's.
Mike: I think we should take information a few times a week and have people present their findings at our daily meeting.
Jim: Or, what we could do is at our daily meeting, have people present findings on information pertinent to our business.
Mike: Don't be such a fucking corporate jackal
Jim: Bye now.

Corporate foraging is the act of scavenging meals in an office environment, thereby sustaining oneself purely on the food leftovers from lunch-time meetings. Frequently practiced by single adult males, but also observed within a wide range of demographics.
“Hey Andy, did you see the meeting with the two dudes on the third floor? They have three pizzas in there! There is now way they will eat all of that pizza – I think it is time for a little corporate foraging. We will need to be swift, because pizza is a hot commodity and the Marketing Scanvengers have been active on the third floor this week”

An amazingly beautiful band. The lyrics touch on the deeper parts of life. Theyre not for the 12 year old girls who faint when they see a band member. They have an amazing sound of piano with high distortion guitar. Andrew McMahono has a great tenor voice to compliment the the great music.

Any blatant and/or pointless flaunting or exhibition of a company's name (e.g. naming a sports arena after the owner), or ridiculously obvious product placement with the capitalistic intent of selling more of said product.
Ted Rogers' renaming of the SkyDome to the Rogers Centre was clearly an act of corporate masturbation.

It is said of someone that has been downsized, displaced or severed from a long time corporate career.
Most of the time this results in the loss of stability, identity, structure and community.

One morning during the summer of 2002 I was having coffee with a Director of HR. We were friends, so it was nothing out of the ordinary. Out of the blue he said to me, "We need to find you another job!" That was the beginning of the end of my decades long career with a large corporation and the beginning of a very painful journey as another corporate refugee.
