Corporate Slang That Doesn't Exist Yet But Should

About this video

Sam and Shaan brainstorm creative corporate slang phrases that don’t exist yet but should, riffing back-and-forth on colloquialisms they invent for workplace situations—from delivering sensitive feedback to following up on sales to identifying whether employees have the right strengths for their roles.

Key takeaways

• Sam proposes ‘Bubble Wrap’ as slang for softening difficult messages before delivering them to sensitive employees
• Shaan introduces ‘Alohamora’ (from Harry Potter) as shorthand for making email introductions, and ‘Syn Storm’ for quick 5-minute calendar meetings instead of default 30-minute slots
• The hosts collectively pitch phrases like ‘Crashing the Boards’ for aggressive sales follow-up, ‘Landsliding’ to build consensus before meetings, and ‘Teaching a fish to climb a tree’ for putting employees in roles mismatched to their strengths
