Touchdown Station
(1). An office or desk the company keeps open for employees visiting from other regions. You know, the one where you set up your hot plate and keep all of your unfiled papers.
“Oh, hey Jim. In from Seattle, eh? You can use the touchdown station over there. And if you want something to eat, there’s a fridge under the desk with someone’s yogurt and a couple of Kit Kats from Halloween, I think.”
Open Kimono
(1). A term used to describe full transparency on a deal or issue (i.e. opening the kimono to see what’s underneath).
“Okay guys, we’re going to have to be open kimono on this deal.”
