promoticon

A combination of "emoticon" and "promote." Describes being "promoted" by an important person in your life by getting emoticons from them in their texts and emails to you. In other words, you've been elevated from the lowly category of professional contact, acquaintance, or casual friend into their inner circle, where they feel comfortable enough with you to use emoticons. Not to be confused with demoticon.

I just got promoticon'd by Sarah. Schwing!

narcissist promotion vehicle (NPV)

1. A company or non-profit organization set up to serve the egos of its founder(s). All of its activities, while often disguised as doing "good" for society, tech start-ups, the poor, etc., is done to enhance, flatter and inflate the founder's overly important fragile self-image of him or herself.

It's obvious the tech accelerator is solely a narcissist promotion vehicle (NPV). Its website mentions its founder 95 times and only has videos of young women talking breathlessly about its 'genius' founder - - yet 99 % of its 'members' are dudes.
