Nopportunity

A favor someone asks of another person that will not only be of no benefit to them but also degrades their life in some way. These favors are usually asked with a high pitched "happy to see you" sort of tone.

"Hey buddy! (Guy asking a favor teases the other guy's hair like a dog) I've got an opportunity for you! How would you like to come in on Saturday and help me untangle all the paper clips?"

"Sounds more like a Nopportunity" (full sarcasm)

opportunity cost

The value of resources and time given up relative to the best alternative. Includes the estimation of time in process. If a economy is competitive, the opportunity cost is a good indicator of the price because any change in prices is a change in the opportunity cost, which means a change in the allocation of resources.

The opportunity cost of 9/11 was huge! Lives were lost, capital was destroyed, people got sick......so when 9/11 happened there was a change in the market prices which changed the allocation of resources.

Development Opportunity

Basically a shit sandwich served up at your work by a senior manager, who calls it a 'development opportunity' to relieve their conscience as they should be performing this task themselves.

Manager - "I have a development opportunity for you, could you please do (insert mundane task here)?"
You - "Fuck!"
