The Slangman Guide to Biz Speak 3

Without these new self-teaching guides to English business slang, nonnative speakers doing business in America would be baffled by such expressions as "getting canned," "jumping through hoops," and "talking turkey." These business slang terms and hundreds more are presented in these guides to nonstandard business English through dialogue, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking exercises and hilarious illustrations that depict both the figurative and literal meanings of each word or phrase. In addition to general workplace slang and jargon and common business abbreviations, terms that are specific to computers, the Internet, negotiations, meetings, marketing, and advertising are also illustrated and explained.
