Imperial Core

Much like spoiled kids or people who prefer crustless sandwiches, those in the imperial core rarely realize the harm they create. The countries where rich people keep their money/Where Corporate shareholders live.

institutional imperative

1.how an entire organization can rise up to help a boss justify some deal he’s inclined to do, regardless of its merit
2. any company’s inherent propensity to do dumb things (or avoid doing smart things) simply for the sake of doing them.
1. The stock market collapse was encourage by many respected investors by participating in the overarching fininacial industry institutional imperative of rolling over debt and reselling them as investments.
2. Warren Buffett in discusing the motivation of bankers and institutional leadership in a 1989 letter. Believes that Institutions are built to appease the wishes of a few in leadership positions, to the point that employees are convinced that they are justified in all of their actions regardless of the effect. Specifically in addressing the needs and motivation of bankers, who will encourage any deal regardless of merit.

2. “Don’t ask the barber whether you need a haircut.”"It was his thinly veiled dig at Wall Street bankers and the perverse incentive system for corporate “advice” on mergers and acquisitions — namely that bankers are paid only if a deal is completed. (Bankers typically earn nothing if a deal is abandoned or collapses, giving them little reason to recommend against pursuing a transaction.)"

Imprompter

Used to describe what happens when the teleprompter goes blank while a speaker is reading from it, the words uttered after that are almost always improper.
Did you hear the imprompter words spoken by the president last night, I'll bet they fired the teleprompter operator immediately.

Impromptuvationalist

A lifestyle choice a person makes about how to live and behave, according to an attitude stemming from impromptu decision making. Decisions are made sporadically, without previous preparation or thought.

A state of being pure in each moment.
Going off of what "feels right" in a particular instance without planning- One remains unscripted, raw, unrehearsed.
No hesitation involved.

Living a lifestyle in extemporization.

It's also the perfect excuse for poor decision making; however, it will NOT have you exempt from pregnancy, or STD's-

Example:

(female) "Why didn't you wear a condom? What do you think you are, one of those impromptuvationalists?"
(male) "Actually, I am..."
(female) "Well, I'm a Catholic, so it looks like we're BOTH going to be parents."
(Customer) "Excuse me, Miss? My first drink came with a lemon wedge, this second was served with a lime..."
(Server) "I thought you'd enjoy variety as the spice of life! I'm an impromptuvationalist, it just felt so right."
(Customer) "Oh, in that case- Surprise me on my third! I love what a good impromptuvationalist will throw my way! You must have such a free spirit."

imperial dragon

A deuce so long it extends down into the bowl so far the end is not seen, and finishes above the water.
Greg had to drop a load so bad he laid an imperial dragon at Dave's house.
