An individual holding an executive office at a firm that is identified by being extremely well-dressed, earning large commisions and salaries, working extremely late hours, staying in high-end hotels, not taking crap from the media about being overpaid, and blinging a 50K wristwatch and a 1500K ink pen. They also still have time for their familiy.
Charles: "I saw that Joe's light was still on in his office up there on the 50th floor of the high-rise at 4AM."
Daniel: "For sure. That mofo is a Corporate Baller indeed."

Means being generally professional, upstanding, and performing “by the book” in behavior, words, or person. Opposite or being street or hood.
Girl, I gave that dude my number the other day and he called me at 2am for a booty call! I don’t know who he thinks he is, but this is a corporate environment!

If you have ever had a credit card company lose your payment you have probably experienced corporate doublespeak.
A good example; You get a late notice from your credit card company. Instead of paying the minimum you pay the entire account off. Afterward they keep sending late notices and making phone calls. You phone them, you e-mail them, and you even send letters by snail mail to them.
All responses you receive from them are in lawyer language. They admit nothing and say nothing that makes any sense except to say that you are late with your payment and you will be reported to the credit bureau. Then mysteriously two weeks after payment had been sent electronically to them the payment posts and the calls end.
Wife: Why are we still getting those calls from the credit card company?
Husband: I paid them off a week ago but they say I did not. I have called them and e-mailed them. At first they act like I am lying. Then after they keep me on hold for a long time their tone turns cautious and they start talking in corporate doublespeak.

A term used by lefties.
A Corporate Sonderkommando is a person who seems to be unaffiliated with any business interests, usually a politician, who advocates the selling off of perfectly functional state owned assets, under the guise of innocuous sounding beliefs - such as 'market-liberalization'.
Whilst appearing like you and I and promoting all sorts of improvements to how you and I can live, the Corporate Sonderkommando (C.S.) actually works for large businesses and corporations, secretly if possible. The C.S. only exists to promote the interests of these financial institutions. The main consequence of the actions of a C.s. is a repeated attempt to take money from the poor and give it to the already rich. Like Robin Hood in reverse.
Best thought of as a Sociopath In Sheep's Clothing.
The effects of a C.S. upon society is extreme : After the C.S. led one-time sell off of profitable state-assets has completed, the taxes collected from big businesses curiously goes down rapidly and is replaced by increased taxation of the general public, despite their relative earnings decreasing at the same time. In no time at all 60+ hour work-weeks become normal and your children become unruly strangers.
Tell-tale signs of a C.S. are the, usually false, assurances that they make in advance of wreaking major damage to the poorer end of society :
"Competitive market places lead to lower prices"
"I believe in a small government"
"The only good market is a free market"
"Success and social promotion are not some right that anybody can claim after queuing at some government office. It is better: it is a right, a right that one can merit because of one's sweat."

European examples of Corporate Sonderkommandos are : Benito Mussolini, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Silvio Berlusconi, Nicolas Sarkozy.
Usage : 'In my opinion, Tony Blair is a Corporate Sonderkommando.'

Band that started off touring and doing live shows to build a rep. Have toured with such bands as Saves the Day, RX Bandits, Days Away, and the Format. They are a kick-ass emo band that have amazing talents and a fantastic live show.
I saw Something Corporate at their last show in San Diego, after having toured for 3 years, non-stop.

A physical type of punishment, as in a spanking or flogging.
In the school I attended, licks a form of corporal punishment, was applied with much enthusiasm, across the seat of our pants with a wooden paddle.

The barab glirner who really run the political show in the USA and all other Westernized countries in the world. They get bullshit laws passed that we are forced to obey without giving us the chance to exercise our democratic right to speak up against them, for instance the law that releases corporations from the responsibility of cleaning up pollution in hydraulic fracturing, and the Ten Strikes Law. They also have dubious sweetheart deals with countries that hate us and finance terrorism. NISM?
The corporate mafia are responsible for the mindless shit that we see on the primetime TV channels these days.
