Chief pollinator
Translation into plain English Pass

Usage example “John Elkington, Chairman & Chief Pollinator: while he resists being labelled, John is a writer, thought-leader and business strategist, a serial entrepreneur and, at heart, an environmentalist.” (spotted by Matt Walters)
Lucy’s commentary If this man resists being labelled, why has he accepted a title that makes him sound like a bee? Bees don’t write or think, let alone lead thoughts.
