Word of the Day

Today's word of the day is a special pet peeve of the Liberal Lumberjack:

"Business Community" (n.)

Friendlier-sounding code developed by PR execs to put a softer, more human facade on what would have been previously referred to as "business interests", "moneyed interests", or "corporate interests"

Ex: I can't stand hearing news reporters use the term "business community".  Right, as if anything going on in the news is going to have a negative impact on a poor little community of real people - whose members just happen to wear suits.
