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.

Get the Desk Promotion mug.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.

Get the promotion demotion mug.Promofear is when companies offer free products or services with no strings attached, just to promote their brands or their products and services, the skeptics start touting doubt about the products or services offered aren't real without even going to their office/store/trade show booths/marketing company stores. Some go as extreme as even emailing the company through their websites to support staff telling that an advertising service was giving away their products for free and it's not real.
