Notivational: /no-ti-vay-shun-al/ June was so insecure in her position as team leader, that each year when it was her turn to “pump up” her team at the company’s annual banquet, she would make sure to have the best notivational speech prepared. Armed with about 15 minutes of subliminal messages, she would also politely reject any ideas and suggestions with a smile, followed by a rolling of the eyes as she pointed to the next raised hand. Etymology: Motivation: Stimulation of a salesperson’s, dealer’s, or employee’s innate desires and personal objectives by a program of recognition.
Notivational: The “antithesis” of the above. 🙂 Created by: lumina.

Meanager: /Meanie + ger/ Tarquin pondered whilst refrying the fries, he was on a fascinating ‘Work your way round the Deep South’ US gap year, the Himalayas had been fully booked, unfortunately… yes absolutely he though to himself, yes the OED have really missed a trick there, because, right, Bubba, is quite mean, I mean you could call him a meanie even, and he’s my manager, well it says so on his badge so, right, well, actually he should be called a Meanager, because that’s absolutely so what he is! Maybe i will study classics at Oxford next year, I’ve certainly got the language skills he ruminated further as he scrapped the grits off the gumbo…. Etymology: Just like Tarquin said in the story
