promotions

What results when pornography is posted somewhere, often a message board, that is purportedly worksafe (e.g., The New York Times homepage).Many might think that the appearance of such material on a workplace monitor would lead to firings or at least a stern talking-to. But in one of life's little mysteries, 4chan's /v/ discovered that most employees are actually promoted instead, perhaps in approval for their viewing such interesting internet content.

The purported result of viewing NSFW on a (supposedly) worksafe message/imageboard.

Originates from the /v/ board of 4chan, where it was a common joke to post that you just got fired because your boss caught you looking at NSFW material. Was later changed to "promotions", probably because the irony/absurdity of it made it funnier.
Example:
(porn or gore is posted)
Poster 1: "PROMOTIONS!"
Poster 2: "I JUST MADE CEO!"

An increase in pay, title, and responsibility for an employee within a company that should be based on his hard work - but occasionally is based on nepotism, office politics, or sycophantic behavior while on the job.
Example:
No one seemed surprised by Joey's promotion at work, as he is the boss' son.

A 4chan meme which started on /v/. Since /v/ is ostensibly a work-safe board, people assume it's completely safe to browse the board at work (hence the name). One day, someone posted a NSFW image, and one person posted "My boss walked by when I had the image open at work, and I got fired." Someone responded "I got promoted," implying he was promoted to replace the first guy. Soon after, when someone posted another work-unsafe image, one person responded "PROMOTIONS!"

People unfamiliar with the phrase's origins believed it to be wholly ironic, and thought it was so hilarious they repeated it whenever work-unsafe material finds its way onto the board, and then it became a true meme.

It should NOT be assumed that bosses like to see their workers watch porn at work.
Example:
Anonymous 1: *Posts porn on a work-safe board*
Anonymous 2: "PROMOTIONS!"

n.; one employed by a nightlife venue, e.g. a bar, lounge, or club, whose purpose is to increase the hype of the venues (for nascent venues) and maximize the clientele (for more established venues) - that is, attract a wealthy, good-looking, and extroverted crowd - by distributing complimentary passes and contact information at places where such clientele may be found, such as outside a competing venue during closing; the promoter usually gets paid in proportion to the revenue earned during the night he/she was promoting, generally not as lucrative as a bartender, but better than a bouncer; over 80% of promoters are male
Example:
John: hey ladies, you all looking beautiful
Sarah: oh please!
Diane: you're just saying that cuz you're a promoter
John: while that may be true, come to my club and i'll take care of you

Kristen: let's go to club XtaC tonite, i know the head promoter there, he can get us in for free
Charlene: you are such a ho

Tyrone: damn bro, the life of a promoter is great, i get to spit game to all these hot bitches and invite them into VIP
Deepak: yeah? well the life of a bartender is better, i get to spit game to all these hot bitches AND get tipped
Security: ok kids, get out of the way, the owner coming thru

Kevin: ladies, come to the after-party
Ryan: wutup promoter, can I roll thru your after-party?
Kevin: sorry dude, no hard feelings - but I'm trying to get laid

To perpetuate or elevate the status of a person, concept, ideal, organization or the like. Etymology stems from a Middle-English amalgamation of Latin 'pro-' (for) and Middle English 'motan' (allow, must). To offer support for allowance to continue is to promote. The opposite of condemn and dissent.
Example:
Roberto wasn't aware that his mass-murder killing spree promoted strong Republican values until Rush Limbaugh offered him a co-hosting role on his talk show.
