Careful: do not confuse with “poxy”.
Corporate actions
A person sent along to a shareholders’ meeting (and AGM, EGM, that kind of thing) with a piece of paper entitling her to vote on behalf of a registered shareholder. A special type of agent.
Phantom antipodean children, spouse, etc.
Also, a sort of synthetic jet-lag, caused by cohabiting with people — children, usually — who have actual jet-lag.
Middle-management
Any shorthand, heuristic or a second-order derivative which enables a person with no subject matter expertise to instantly evaluate something complex, intractable, constitutionally incapable of instant evaluation — the sort of thing that requires a lifetime’s market expertise to properly assess. For example, a credit rating in place of a systematic analysis of the business fundamentals of a multinational corporation.
Also: a five-star rating for a book review, or a three-point rating in a performance appraisal.
