Bonus well
Translation into plain English We pay big bonuses
Perpetrator Pret
Usage example βOne thing is for sure β we bonus well. General Managers receive a bonus of 30% of salary and Assistant Managers of 20% of their salary β our top performing Managers can earn even more than that!β (Spotted by Caroline Myddelton)
Lucy’s commentary Pret loses one mark for coining a shockingly bad nerb. But it gets one back for bringing bonuses back to the masses. A 30 per cent bonus really ought to be something to celebrate.
