Enron Spawns a New Lexicon The New York Times February 3, 2002 HEAR THE ONE ABOUT . . .? By PAUL ZEILBAUER NRON has spawned a new lexicon. Gov. James E. McGreevey, criticizing New Jersey Republicans' handling of budget numbers, used a new term: "Enronize," meaning "to hide fiscal shortcomings through slick financial legerdemain and bald-faced lies." Here are more. o Enronic: when a high-flying, seemingly invincible person or entity goes down in flames (figuratively speaking). o N. Ron Hubbard: L. Ron's secret twin brother, founder of the Church of Bankruptology. o Enronica: cheap souvenirs, like Enron stock certificates. o Enrontia: the burning desire to shred things. o Enronymous Bosch: the company's landscape architect. oEnronomania: the political and economic fallout of the company going bust, particularly thick in Washington (where Bush is headquartered), Houston (where Enron is headquartered) and Chicago (where Arthur Andersen is headquartered). o Enrontropy: the principle that a corporation's greed is directly proportional to how many lives its failure would ruin. nytimes.com
