Used to describe all things rad and awesome.
• The word "Radness" derived from the word "rad", which in turn derived from the word "radical".
• This is a 21st generation word, and no mere mortal may speak of such a word in the company of persons who fail to comply with being Rad.
It also happens to be the raddest website on the web: Radness.co.za

Get the Rectal Raider mug.(FINANCE) someone like Carl Icahn or Victor Posner; a manager of a PE fund or takeover vehicle (e.g., T. Boone Pickens with Mesa Petroleum) who organizes hostile takeovers of undervalued corporations.
WHY THEY'RE BAD
Corporate raiders insist they're looking out for the shareholder by forcing the managers to focus on increasing the value of the firm. If a company's share prices are high, it supposedly reflects well on the management of the firm; if the prices are low, the shareholders presumably would benefit from the takeover battle and subsequent change of management.
The flaw in this argument is (a) shareholders are not the only stakeholders in the corporation; workers, neighbors, and consumers also have interests that deserve protection; and (b), the impact of the corporate raider on FUTURE shareholders is inherently damaging over the long run because the targeted corporation's share prices are driven to a higher baseline anyway. After the takever battle between the raider and management, FUTURE buyers of the stock pay a higher price but are stuck with stagnant share prices because further increases don't make economic sense.
If the leveraged buyout succeeds, the company is saddled with debt in excess of its book value, which imposes an extreme burden; if it fails (greenmail), then company is still saddled with immense debt.

Usually a corporate raider makes his killing by risking (and mostly losing) the money of other people.
He usually quotes Ayn Rand bromides about his adversaries being moochers and wreckers, but he destroys the livelihood of thousands, and he makes his fortune through ambush.

Get the corporate raider mug.He’s the most loyal guy you’ll ever meet. He looks intimidating but don’t let that fool you. He’s a simp for his girl. Very strong and buff and would klll for his girl. He’s the funniest and coolest person to be around. If you’re lucky enough for him to consider you his friend or partner. He definitely has a god complex because he simply is one.
