Mass Execu-diss, Veepret, Limp Dick Indicator

Mass Execu-diss (mǣs ɪg’zɛkyə-dɪs) : When at least two executives resign on the same day, often to make a statement about their company’s current policies behind the scenes. Did you catch that mass execu-diss of Komen’s CEO Nancy Brinker and Prez Liz Thompson, along with two other board members? How ever will that corrupt and medically unsound charitable organization run without them?

Veepret (viprɪt): a very closely guarded secret. When I stopped by her apartment before work she acted like he had just shown up at 7 am for a Tuesday pancake breakfast. I don’t know why, though, it’s not like it’s a veepret that they’re hooking up. Origin: A combination of the words “veep” (slang for vice-president) and “secret.” Refers to the extreme secrecy of Romney’s pick of Paul Ryan as his running mate.

Limp Dick Indicator: (lɪmp dɪk ˈɪndɪˌkeɪtər) An indicator based on the theory that male consumers often experience erectile dysfunction when feeling unconfident about the future. Therefore, Viagra sales tend to increase during times of economic uncertainty. Ugh, he couldn’t get it up AGAIN last night. Looks like the Limp Dick Indicator is WAY down. That’s it, I’m selling my biotech stock first thing in the morning. See also: “Lipstick Indicator,” and “Hemline Indicator.”
