P&L thats definitely old people. one of my first interviews dinged me for that. their loss. my gain. it was a corporate finance gig.
ppl who confuse income revenue are juss not educated enough imo.
haha like leverging my skills. i kind of like it. its like focusing on strengths and degaffing on weaknesses.

This would be a very different discussion in the porn industry.
Some others:
“All sizzle and no steak”
“Circle back”
“Picking up pennies in front of a steamroller”
“We’ve got to make sure this deal looks like an apple and smells like an apple before we pull the trigger.”
“Take a holistic approach”
So should I take some vitamin C with my financial plan? Hate it.
Well, that wasn’t very nice.
Few more:
“This is a cherry deal!”
“Let’s just ________ and drive on”
Actually, in hindsight the conversation would probably pretty similar for the porn industry:
Low hanging fruit
Choking the goose
Going hard
Circle back
Picking up penis in front of a steam roller
Tailwind and headwind
Deep diving
Start the balls rolling
Dry powder
Juice squeezing references
Get them wet and excited
Touch base
ok ok BS wants to talk about porn.
Here’s one that would give me nightmares: friendly fire.
Not industry specific, but definitely “corporate asshattery”- diversity and inclusion.
Management is obsessed with focusing on this. Perhaps it’s just my white male privilege, or perhaps I’m just lucky to work with good people, but it seems like if we spent less time focusing on diversity and inclusion, and more time on hiring, training and retaining the most competent people we can, we’d never hear another peep about diversity and inclusion. I don’t care what race or sex or persuasion you are so long as you’re helping row the boat in the correct direction. I’ve never excluded someone because of race or sex, and I’ve never seen it happen in my 10 years on the industry. But I’ll be damned if I don’t have to hear about diversity and inclusion at least once a month in a meeting and once a week in an email. Just hire and retain the best employees regardless of who they are or what they look like. Every other problem magically disappears.
As if they try to overcompensate for something…
Literally, clicked off this thread to read an email and the first thing that popped out to me was “30,000 foot view…”. Had to come back and report.
One more: “Opportunistically”
So now the trick is to find terms that apply to both porn and financial industries? Challenge accepted.
Box Spread
Penetrate
Endowment effect
Back-End Load
Bust
I guess it’s because normal airplanes fly at 30k feet. 50k maybe is for some old guy who used to ride in Concorde, or they are RG3’s vulture.
great, now we’re gonna hear people saying “the Zephyr level view”
it probably has more to do with the ruppell’s vulture. investors are often compared to vultures so a vulture that can spot prey from 30,000 feet is one that can spot opportunity across a vast landscape. it might actually be a clever phrase if this is the case. it is possibly the fact that nobody knows what it refers to is what makes it annoying.
In the book “Sled Driver” the authors talk about flying over LAX airspace and radioing the tower for permission to go to 50,000 feet.
The controller replied something on the order of, “This is a joke, right? You want permission to climb to 50,000 feet?”
“No, LA tower. We want permission to descend to 50,000 feet.”
“Solid”
