The Business English Dictionary

Introduction
Reference material is available that explains technical business terms,
such as hypothecations or collateralized debt obligations.
However this dictionary covers conversational and written language
used in discussing business deals, transactions, negotiations, and good
or bad attitudes toward them. The range of expression goes from “as
easy as pie” for something not difficult to do, to “zip your lip” about a
deal you want to keep secret.
The Business English Dictionary
• Presents over 6,500 business words and expressions with sample sentences
to illustrate their meaning and how to use them in an appropriate
context.
• Contains up-to-date words and expressions central to the language,
such as connect the dots, crowdsourcing, gaming the system, and the
whole enchilada.
• Usage notes enrich the reader’s understanding of individual words
and expressions.
• Over 1,500 cross-references act as a thesaurus of similar terms allowing
the reader to express ideas in a more varied and colorful way.
• For correct English, grammar and level designations indicate whether
the expressions remain in a fixed order or can be separated, and if they
are standard, formal, informal, slang or vulgar.
• Powers your writing and speaking.
• Adds colorfulness and clarity to your speech.
• Improves your ability to make good deals and hopefully lots of money.
• If you are familiar with only half the knowledge in this dictionary, you
will in the author’s opinion, be smarter and one can only hope, wealthier
than most of the human race. You can bet your boots on that.
