I ran across the 2006 Dictionary of new Business Euphemisms while surfing around last night. Here's the ones I liked:

SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything and then leaves.

SALMON DAY: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die in the end

SITCOM: Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids.

XEROX SUBSIDY: Euphemism for swiping free photocopies from one's workplace.

404: Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message “404 Not Found,” meaning that the requested document could not be located.

GENERICA: Features of the American landscape that are exactly the same no matter where one is, such as fast food joints, strip malls, subdivisions.
