corporate

As a noun in business jargon, refers to anything produced by or for a corporation's internal consumption—like training videos that make you question your will to live or bonds that fund expansion plans. It's become shorthand for the soul-crushing aesthetic of beige conference rooms and stock photo diversity. When something is described as "very corporate," it's never a compliment; it means sanitized, risk-averse, and optimized for maximum inoffensiveness.

Short for Besloten Vennootschap, the Dutch version of a private limited liability company that's basically the Netherlands' answer to Germany's GmbH.
