Summary/Abstract: The paper is focused on jargon and slang, whose use may affect the way businesspeople think and develop professional relations. To clear up possible misinterpretations, I have analyzed a corpus of slang expressions, colloquialisms, clichéd words and phrases in the business lexicon. My research is a linguistic approach to jargon/slang terms, which takes into account their positive or negative connotations.
