incentize

verb
What the boss likes to say when he's explaining how to get your business partners to act in what he thinks is your best interest. It falls somewhere between "encourage" and "coerce". Ironically, whatever it is he's trying to "incentize" them to do is in their best interest anyway, so "incentization" really isn't required at all.

"We need to incentize them to only buy the number of parking places they need."
"Why would they buy parking places they don't need?"
"That's why we incentize them!"

incent

Verb; first used in the third presidential debate in 2004 by President Bush. Suspected meaning - to induce by promise of reward or avoidance of punishment (i.e. to give incentives) to others to embark on a particular course of action. One step below the pseudo-English word incentivize, usually used by economists to indicate their superior intelligence over the people who need the incentin'.

"We gotta incent those people to get off welfare by cuttin' off their child health benefit thingies."

Napoleon Incentive

When one's own self inadequacies lead one to be more ambitious and successful. Similar to the Napoleon Complex, which states that one of short stature may be more aggressive and domineering. It is named after Napoleon because he was of short stature, but was massively ambitious and successful, which many shorter men have to do in order to make up for their short stature.

Brett suffered from the Napoleon Complex and was bitter. His friend, Dave, had a Napoleon Incentive and decided to become more confident and funny to compensate for his height.

Beverage Incentive

A liquid bonus, typically a six-pack of the performer's choice, attached to an action, and granted after completion of the action. The action is typically crude in nature, such as having sex with someone for situational humor, or finishing a large quantity of alcohol.

Bob, Ted, Fred and Jimmy are at a bar:
Bob: "So my sister and mother are coming to visit next week"
Ted: "Beverage Incentive!"
Bob: "..."

A week later, after Jimmy successfully slays both:
Ted: "Jimmy, here's your two six packs. I'm going to put down another beverage incentive. If you finish all 12 beers in 20 minutes, I'll get you another six pack"
