AMERICAN BUSINESS JARGON by W. Davis Folsom

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

    In today's (1 August 1999) New York Times, Business Section, pg. 6, col.
5, is "Counting Coinages In Jargon."  The article gives free advertisement to
"a modest jargon Web site, www.duesouth.net/~dfolsom," by W. Davis Folsom, a
business professor at the University of South Carolina-Aiken.
    He wrote UNDERSTANDING AMERICAN BUSINESS JARGON: A DICTIONARY in 1997,
but has recently updated it with more than 500 terms.
     I looked at the terms on his "modest" site--many of the terms have
appeared in ATNW, and many are terms I've worked on ("Big Board," for
example).  I don't think he's an ADS member--must be the $35 dues.
    He probably hasn't even heard of the ADS, or me.  It's embarrassing to
introduce him to what he's missing...
