(1). A cheesy way of saying “fired”.
“I reached out to Bob this morning to let him know he was termed. He didn’t take it well…hear all those sirens?”
Props to John D. for the submission!
Termed
RANDOM LINGO
White Hat
(1). A term describing best practices for SEO professionals that correctly (and honestly) manipulate search engines so that their client’s sites show up above Wikipedia entries.
“Our firm uses white hat practices for our SEO efforts. No, you won’t get links from any porn sites or gambling sites. No, no porn sites you can gamble on either.” (see: Black Hat)
Boilerplate
(1). All of that “standard” mumbo jumbo lawyers stick into contracts and other legal documents, usually without thought and often with negative consequences.
“Okay, so Frank, you agree that if you and Rachel get divorced, you need to pay her blah, blah, blah … then blah, blah, blah … you can just skip past pages 3 through 78, it’s all just a bunch of boilerplate legal stuff. If you could just sign on page 79, we can still make our reservation at Le Bernardin.”
