kill your babies

Journalism slang. Shortening an article too long to print. Named for the time, care and effort spent researching and writing said article, only to have it go to waste. A brutally painful process.

Writer: Here's my article.
Editor: I asked for three columns. Go kill your babies, then talk to me.

Diversify Your Bonds

A method of reducing financial risk by spreading one's money among many different kinds of securities. This mitigates risk because a portfolio invested in multiple asset classes is less likely to be affected by the negative performance of one single investment.

"You need to diversify your bonds, nigga." - GZA

"When I needed financial advice, I decided to enter the 36 chambers and step to the muhfukkin Wu, where they told me to diversify my bonds. Now I'm makin' stacks and drinkin' 'gnac every day!"
