    an ad spend

    When you’re off the used car lot, ‘spend’ is still only a verb, and the word you wanted here is maybe ‘purchase’ or ‘deal’.

    ‘The spend’, ‘the ask’, and other cheese should stay back with the pre-owned Pontiacs.

      It’s corporate speak, imo.

      I hate it too.

      They also like to call everything “assets.” Not a “picture” or an “image” or a “decoration” or a million other descriptive words. It’s all “assets.” When the corporates talk like that they are emphasizing ownership and profitabiliy. “Put that money-making thing we own there.” “Lisa, which folder did you put that money-making thing we own in?”
