Business Terminology

"Pod jumping!"

"Nah."

"Aw...come on man..."

Steve picked at a piece of imaginary lint on his pant leg, "It'll never fly."

"What would you call moving from one pod to another then?" George snapped back.

Steve rolled his eyes and sighed, "You have to keep the language all official sounding."

George snorted.

"Like business relations...or lateral advancement...or employment facilitation expert. Pod jumping sounds too kiddie scifi."

"So...?"

Steve sat quietly considering the question a few moments before replying, "Business Moving."

"Business moving?"

"Yes. Definitely."

"Use it in a sentence."

Steve snapped his fingers, "Easy - I feel the urge to make a business movement."

"Alright," George smiled, "I can work with that."

"See," Steve beamed back, "you just have to have a corporate mindset."

"Ok. But this is AOL."

"So?"

"AOL is the king of the acronym."

Steve huffed, "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"

"So," George giggled, "business movement becomes BM."

"What?"

"Let's try it on for size shall we?" George rubbed his hands together, "I feel the urge to make a BM."

"Oh god." Steve's head dropped to the desk with a thump.

"Yeah. I think it'll catch on."
