this wasn’t in the manual: say it plain
aka a glossary for the ones who had to figure it out as they went
why this exists
a lot of the language used in business sounds official, polished, and out of reach on purpose. it’s full of phrases people throw around like everyone should already know what they mean. but most of the time? nobody ever actually explains it.
this glossary is here to change that.
it’s for the ones who’ve always been sharp — but weren’t handed the playbook. for the folks already building something real. and the ones standing at the edge, wondering if they’ll sound foolish for not knowing the terms.
you’re not behind. you’re not missing anything. you’ve just been learning in a system that never paused to break things down.
this isn’t a cheat sheet. it’s a show-you-love glossary. something you can keep open in a tab while you work, or screenshot when you need backup. it’s that moment when a big sister leans in and quietly breaks it down — so you don’t have to ask out loud. because clarity is power. and you already belong here.
