[[File:Abierce.jpg|450px|frameless|center]] | [[File:Abierce.jpg|450px|frameless|center]]}}Splendid American wag {{author|Ambrose Bierce}} published, to great acclaim, a {{br|Devil’s Dictionary}} a hundred years or so ago, thus inaugurating a fine tradition of subversive glossaries: {{author|Douglas Adams}} and John Lloyd’s {{br|The Deeper Meaning of Liff}} being one, and {{author|William Margrabe}}’s online ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160324133701/http://margrabe.com/Dictionary.html/ Devil’s Derivatives Dictionary]'' — dating back to 2001 — being another. Mr. Margrabe’s excellent resource has long since been put to pasture and has fallen fallow — though you can find it if you look hard enough — and since the world of [[financial services]] has moved on in 20 years to the sunlit uplands we now inhabit, here is the [[JC]]’s meagre contribution to the venerable tradition. | ||
