MSNBC had a great article, sharing some of the newly minted words in the current business year. I particularly like the Meatball Sundae, as that hits close to home with some of the business ideas that I need to deal with on a daily basis. You can use it whenever your boss tells you to mash up two business ideas that are so incongruous, you feel like you’re eating meatballs with ice cream (though i’ve never actually digested such a combination).

I’d like to propose one new word. While the already coined Shanghai Sneeze has a pretty obvious connotation and we’ll most probably see more of that after the 2008 Olympics, let’s consider the Shanghai Snort? That would be the current sucking sound of China inhaling. The exhale is going to be a lot more than a sneeze. More like a tsunami!
