Another bastardised nouveau noun, this time "culture" and "entrepreneur".
It is, according to the website of a marketing and promotions company as "…the dialogue between the arts and business."
Hateful, and it has me reaching for my pistol.

Get the Swindon mug.Heaven help me, yet another nasty new noun, the unholy marriage of "volunteer" and "tourism".
Voluntourism, an act carried out by "voluntourists", is when hoardes of - generally - the great unwashed backpacker brigade descend on a place to do have a jolly nice holiday - usually at precious little cost to themselves - and do the occasional bit of good work.
Looks good on one's CV as a gap year activity.

Voluntourist 2: No, tsunami voluntourism is old hat now. All the bars are closed and hardly anyone is living in the houses built, anyway.
Voluntourist 1: Good point. (pauses) Sierra Leone?

Imagined SMS exchange*:
A: I am quite enamoured with you.
B: I feel rather passionately disposed towards you.
A: If only...
B: ...we weren't so many shag miles apart?
A: Yes, but it's a measure of my deep-seated lust for you that I will travel around 150 shag miles to see you.
B: I'll be waiting on the bed with my kit off.
