| haute house - |
(pronounced, "'out hawse"). An entity that presents, to the common eye, a tower of dignity, style, strength and success, while, in actuality, is, behind the fake facade, a habitat built on unbridled greed and rapaciousness. Here dwells a system that devours human capital and resources, and, within its walls, holds corruption and foul morality. It can be as small as a "one-hole-r" (viz. Madoff Capital) or as large as a political state.

Craig turned up the collar of his raincoat as a windy rain swirled around the New York City street. "Hey," he said to himself with a smile, "I'm a great salesman and I'm not yet 50 years old. There's a new Haute House out there just waiting for me!" |
