A Banana Budget is the end-of-year scramble to spend leftover funds, typically by a business owner, manager, or department head, just so the money doesn’t “go bad.” If the budget isn’t used, next year’s allocation might get reduced, so people start buying unnecessary stuff just to peel through the remaining cash.

Sales team lingo when the when selling a known-to-be inferior product (a banana) to a stupid or unwitting purchaser (the ketchup). Often members of the sales team will find reasons to repeat the words "banana ketchup" in front of the purchaser to openly mock their stupidity.
