(corporate term) not technically possible, but possible in the business sense (in that it's not technically possible, but business leaders will promise it anyway and then you, the team, are responsible for achieving a doomed goal from the start in spite of the obvious reality of impracticality)

Developer: Ok, I'm sorry but there is no technical way to get that done with the existing technology, let alone by December.

This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal!
This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! — This is an example of the literary reversal theme wherein a well known oft quoted line or trope is inverted to show another facet of meaning to the idea. This example occurs in the movie New Jack City that takes the famous trope “THIS IS NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS” and inverts it to make the point that ultimately narcotic drugs did destroy the uneasy symbiotic balance between the strange bed fellows: organized crime and organized policing.
In words of Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown in the same movie: MONEY TALKS AND BULLSHIT RUNS THE MARATHONS.

No matter what anyone tries to pretend: IT’S ALWAYS PERSONAL TO SOMEONE.
ALWAYS.

It’s a website run by business consultant Alan Chapman. It contains shedloads of information to help with your career or college work and the best thing, it’s free. So if you want to find out about something related to business studies or management, look at Businessballs before you buy a new reference book. It actually makes learning about this stuff interesting and fun; I didn’t believe it at first either, but when you think about it the name gives it away.

This is business; not personal.
This is business; not personal. — “THIS IS BUSINESS, NOT PERSONAL”, is perhaps the most seminal teaching; and, the most valuable lesson taken from the movie The Godfather. The rule foreshadowed the coming age where corporations would be considered as people and the lives of individuals would be over shadowed by the need for a corporation to continue unobstructed.
One aspect of this teaching is urging a warrior or a holy man (see Godfather 3) never to lose his or her objectivity when faced with facts.
Another aspect of this teaching — which is somewhat ironic — is that a “business decision” is always “personal” to someone. And, if you ever woke up in a bed beside a severed horses head; or, been machine gunned while pinned in a New Jersey toll booth; then the personal aspect of “business decisions” would be crystal clear.
This rule also come into sharp relief if you have ever been replaced by a machine or a non-union worker who will work for less money than you would.
It’s hard to believe that with a of the people who quote both Scarface and The Godfather, this sentence has not found its way into The Urban Dictionary in the year before 2023 C.E. That said I offer it here — and my offering is strictly business and not personal.

socialist business class
The half-assed attempt by European airlines to offer a premium airline seat by sticking a fucking piece of plastic between two economy class seats. Snobby business pricks who sit at the front of the plane still get to sip on a drink and judge the masses as they are herded to the back of the cabin, however they must be confined to the same inhuman space and rancid hot-pocket meal as everyone else.
Did you see Bill, that lucky bastard got upgraded to first class?
Yeah, but its Europe, so he will walk off the plane with hemorrhoids and mud-butt like everyone else. Socialist business class ensures everyone is treated like shit.

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
