" currency "

 [ "currency" ]

1: A jargony corporate buzzword used by the company Comscore to promote the idea that their data is worth purchasing. Invented by B.J. Wiener, the term is meaningless- one might say that inflation has ruined its value by being used too much. It was supposed to mean that Comscore was the measuring stick for all marketing metrics- not a terrible idea, until the he disagreed with the Board of Directors and quit. Now nobody knows what currency means. It was a decent idea and even seemed to be working! Oh well, now the stock is falling because... currency?
