missesah

Yiddish slang. A schlemiel who spouts a lot of mishegoss about being the messiah.

  2. This does not sound like a very useful word. At least not for me - I don't meet many people with messianic complexes.

  3. Really, Mary? I would have thought m&a would be full of people with messianic zeal.

    The missesah came storming into the meeting yelling "The only way to save this company is to accept my offer!".

  4. heh. Most buyers aren't trying to save a company. Nor are most sellers.

    Buyers DO think they are prophets (about profit) and both sides think they see things the other can't.
