concorde

British/French supersonic airliner, designed in the sixties and entered commercial service in 1976. A supreme technological success (and the only successful supersonic airliner), but catastrophic from a business point of view.

Concorde was designed when fuel was cheap, and when it didn't seem like there would be any objection to generating sonic booms over populated areas. By the time it was ready to go into commercial service, environmental concerns and fuel costs eroded most of the potential market. In the end, Concorde served only with Air France and British Airways, mostly flying on the New York - Paris and New York - London routes.

After the first fatal Concorde accident in 2000, the fleet was grounded for over a year. The decision was finally made to retire the two Concorde fleets in 2003, and the survivors were retired to museums in Germany, France, Britain, the United States, and Barbados. No supersonic successor appears likely

The last commercial Concorde flights were in October 2003.

Concord

Concord is a small town in Massachusetts that is home to historical attractions, and that's about it. Parents move here to fuck and create bratty kids that either end up a druggie, slut, or a grade obsessed mess of a human. The education system is great, but in turn creates a stressful environment that makes kids feel retarded if they get anything under a B. Being a kid who lives here, there is jack shit to do for kicks around here. So instead we smoke bud and fuck everything in sight. The exact thing our parents thought wasn't gonna happen upon moving here.

Person 1: "Hey, wanna smoke under the bridge on the tracks?"
Person 2: "Yeah! Let's drive there in my Audi A6"
Person 1: "Sounds good"
Person 2: "Who are we buying bud from?"
Person 1: "Just about any jock in Concord will sell"
Person 2: "True"

corporate humor

1) Hopelessly unfunny jokes, anecdotes, or one-liners, often told by executives, in a corporate environment that earn laughs from brown-nosers.
2) Hopelessly unfunny jokes, anecdotes, or one-liners referencing corporate ads or slogans.

"Working hard or hardly working?"

"Hey guys, did you see that commercial with that duck?" (Imitates duck) "Hahaha, isn't that hilarious?"

"Hey Jim, how was the office party?"
"God awful! Nothing but corporate humor for 3 hours straight!"

Corporate Constipation

The general inability to produce any final outcomes or progress within a corporate environment. Due primarily to ineptitude in management and policies that prevent the full release of employee performance and potential.

I need a new job. It's the same old corporate constipation. I'm getting no where here.

something corporate

A really good band. They have some amazing stuff, and their song Konstantine can make anyone with a soul shed a tear. Thank you for piano rock, guys. For another piano rocker, see Ben Folds. For a more "emo" band, see Dashboard Confessional.

Everyone needs to listen to the song Konstantine by SoCo. Andrew makes my cry, it's so brilliant

corporate hippie

A corporate hippie is a person who embraces the "hippie" attitude (peace, love, understanding, diversity, non-violence, the greater good, environmental awareness, etc.) but is fully integrated into the corporate world. Corporate hippies seek to prove that social awareness and the private sector can coexist.

After having said she'd never work for the private sector, she became a Corporate hippie
