Sometimes, you can be at a meeting and you have no idea what they are talking about. This is especially the case with the specialised technical business dialect used by oil traders. For instance, do you know what ‘AAA’, ‘goinglong’ or even ‘lay days’ means?
You will need to know at least some of these terms when you are involved in sending crude oil from Brazil to Germany via a large oil tanker across the Atlantic to Rotterdam, where it is refined and the resultant products are barged up the Rhine to a terminal in Frankfurt.
