How it's used
Originally a Japanese corporate title for a section manager, this term has been repurposed in gaming culture to describe players who spend large amounts of real money to gain an advantage. It carries a strong sense of irony or mockery, implying that the player relies on their wallet rather than actual skill to progress. In a professional context, it remains a standard business title, but in casual conversation, the gaming connotation is almost always the intended meaning.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the standard corporate title, as using it in a professional setting to describe a colleague will be taken literally, whereas using it among gamers will be understood as a sarcastic comment on their spending habits.
