This word should not have been written here! (Score:2)
This word is only allowed in PowerPoint presentations to CEOs and CFOs of Fortune 500 companies. It kinda means profit, except not the profits for the company but rather the money that executives can make through side deals, plus the amount that can show up in the books for a while, before the actual figures eventually surface.
Example: "Sir, I think we should buy Lame Unlimited for twice the price they are asking. It will eventually cost the share holders about $500M, plus most of the employees their pension, but the gainationn could be in the tens of millions for us, provided we change it's name to GeeWizzcom and IPO it right away"*
I suppose use.perl readers can use G7N if they really have to refer to this word.

Yow! Maybe I have a tiny unborn executive lodged in my spleen struggling to get out! For my continued well being, I need to embrace the little boardmember in me.
