Guardian has a humorous take on 50+ tech terms you should know.
bootstrap (v) – To start a company without venture capital. The only option for the vast majority of people who start companies, but a point of pride for the tiny subset of entrepreneurs who have access to venture capital and eschew it. “My dad is friends with Tim Draper but I wanted to do something on my own so I’m bootstrapping” – a tech bro.
Facebook (n) Your mom’s favorite social media platform.
“pivot (v) – What tech startups do when they realize scaling is not a business model without a monetization strategy.”

Sarah Cooper has a book (100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings (October 4, Andrews McMeel)) coming out with 100 tricks to appear smart in meetings.
Here are some examples from the book grabbed from her post at Techcrunch.
In a brainstorming meeting, the pressure of coming up with incredible new ideas can be debilitating. Luckily, the last thing most corporations want is new ideas.
During these largely pointless exercises, the point is to contribute using the mere gravitas of your presence, make other people’s ideas seem like your ideas, and look like a true leader by questioning the efficiency of the whole process.
Here are 9 tricks to make you look like you’re the creative force on your team.
Just before the meeting starts, get up and ask if anyone needs anything. People will think you’re so thoughtful, kind, and giving, plus you’ll be able to disappear for 10 minutes no questions asked. Even if no one wants anything, return with bottles of water, soda, and snacks.
Your colleagues will feel compelled to start drinking and snacking, and your foresight will make them think you can really predict the future.
While the topics are being introduced, grab one of those sticky note pads and start drawing meaningless flowcharts. Your colleagues will look over at you with worried interest, wondering how you’re coming up with so many complex ideas even before you know what this meeting is for.
When everyone is trying to define the problem, make an analogy about baking a cake, or something just as completely unrelated. Your colleagues will nod their heads in agreement, even if they really don’t understand how what you’re saying is related to what they’re talking about. Talking completely over their heads will make you seem wildly transcendent and intimidatingly creative, even though the truth is you really just like cake.
Nothing makes you seem smarter than when you question the questions by asking if they’re the right questions. If someone responds by asking you what you think the right questions are, say you just asked one.
Sidebar: How to strategically shoot down small ideas
Wonder if an idea seems too small so your colleagues see you as a big thinker and a gamechanger.
Use one of these phrases:
Using an idiom to question an idea is a subtle, smart way of questioning it. Here are some idioms to choose from:

Sean Percival has a funny Investor-to-Founder translation post up at his site.
Some highlights:
Investor to Founder
“We’re looking for mission-driven founders” = We expect you to work unhealthy amounts of hours on this
“When is your round closing?” = How long can I delay in giving you a commitment?
“Who else are you talking with?” = I’m going to email them right after this meeting to gossip about you
“Who else is investing in this round?” = Is anyone smarter than me sticking their neck out first?
“Oh, yes. I know them very well!” = We had lunch once
Founder to Investor
“Would be great to give you an update on the business!” = I’m looking for a bridge round
“We are doubling every month!” = Last month, we had 1 sale, and now we have 2!
“Things are going great!” = We are totally screwed

Liz Fosslien, a freelance designer, runs a cartoon blog called Out of the Office that pokes fun at Silicon Valley’s culture. Here are some funny examples. Head on over to her site at http://comic.fosslien.com/ for more.
Andrew Mason released an album after he was fired from Groupon in 2013, and that got me thinking. What songs would I pick to go on the album to represent my own entrepreneurial journey?
Here are some personal selections below:
What would you put on the album for entrepreneurship? Let us know your choices.
One of the most interesting things about food is how universal food and food culture is. You’ve got a topic that instantly connects anyone around the world regardless the culture, nationality and race.
Thus, instead of just solely seeing the sights on a vacation, I’ve always highly valued the food experience. Yet sometimes, some people revert to routine when they’re in their own home towns. In this case, I am also guilty of not leaving my comfort zone when it comes to food.
A while back I decided to try something new and organised these food tours for friends. I thought I’d share some of the maps and itineraries that we’ve done. In addition to this we’ve done a couple other tours in Causeway Bay that haven’t been properly mapped out.
Richard Scarry has created a hilarious cartoon series called Business Town parodying startups and corporate culture. He utilizes children’s book like animal characters. Head on over to Business Town for more examples.
Sometimes the lingo that startup CEOs throw around can get confusing, Techcrunch has a humourous glossary to help you navigate the world of startups and Silicon Valley.
“Acqui-hire – A strategy for acquiring talent pioneered by Google in the mid-2000s that happens when a bigger company thinks your team is good but your idea is hilariously bad. Also called a “signing bonus.”
Failure – A bad thing that the Silly Valley has recently put on a pedestal as something to be celebrated.
Cashflow Positive – Someone gave us a dollar.
Pivot – What happens when a company realizes its course of action is not living up to expectations. The classic historic example is The Point, which became Groupon after the company posted a coupon to a pizza place in The Point’s building in Chicago. (See also, Failure.)
SaaS — It loses money.
Pre-Money Valuation – A number you made up.
Post-Money Valuation – A number that you made up alongside your VC with the addition of some cash. Your burn rate is probably too high.”
