negaversary

A day that is exactly 1 year before the planned event such as wedding (term originally coined by Sean Ryan).

I'm going to get married after a year on this day with Mona. Today is my negaversary and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take her out.

Negative Cost

A client when buying your product or service can experience a negative cost if the benefits from using your product or service are greater than its cost. A negative cost can also result from a reduction in their costs from the use of your product or service that is greater than the cost of buying the product or service from you or it may result from some combination of higher benefits and lower costs.

Negative cost selling is all about understanding your client’s business from their point of view and being able to measure the benefits you create and the cost reductions you cause.

“A minor soccer team organizer approaches a professional team for a donation to help with their upcoming tournament. Instead of just giving them money, the pro team gives them tickets at a discounted price (say $25 each) which they in turn sell at full retail price (say $45 each). They keep the difference. Their cost for each ticket is a negative cost, i.e., -$20. This also turns all the local minor sports teams, the players, their moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers into a new sales channel for the pro team which helps to fill their arena or stadium. It also teaches the kids about entrepreneurship and self-reliance and they come to understand the maxim: ‘Give a person in need a fishing rod, not a fish.’”

Negative 13

The belief or proposal that the thirteenth amendment to the United States Constitution should be abolished, therefore reinstituting slavery; following the logic that Abraham Lincoln was so tall because he was in fact a black man selectively bred for height who escaped slavery and posed as a white lawyer from Illinois with the goal of becoming president and irrationally freeing the slaves

"Although they are publicly supportive of minorities, conservative Republicans believe strongly in the negative 13 platform."
