My job is part of a sales division, although TBTG I'm no sales exec.
But in sales meetings we're always hearing new plans to "incent" sales
execs to sell various hot new offerings. Not even "incentivize"; just
"incent." Conjures up for me an image of a small figure into which you
put a penny (you put a "cent" "in," so you "incent") and it does
stuff. OK, I'm odd, I know.
