Hidden industry jargon REVEALED [View All]

Have you ever worked in an environment where there were inside terms used to talk about customers or clients ? Terms that were unflattering or otherwise callous?

Here are a few examples:

Intentionally annoying TV ads -- the ones which make you remember them because they are painful to sit through (off-key singing, Carrot Top, Old Navy, Quiznos Subs, etc) -- are called "bludgeoning" campaigns inside of the ad industry.

Wallet-oscopy - is when doctors figure out your medical coverage and credit line before treating you. This is done more by small ER/hospitals.

Sucker List - telemarketing jargon for people who are identified as an easy sale for phone solicitations.

Pump and dump - a common scheme where a micro-cap stock is hyped on the internet and then sold for a hype-inflated price
