Banks: Big Swinging Dicks And Bullshit Promises

Well, finally ... Whatever the background is, the basics of the concepts are as follows.

According to the story at FT Alphaville, the "BIG SWINGING DICKS" are:

Big Swinging Dicks, people who demonstrated the superiority of their manhood by being able to sell anything, however worthless ... it was, for however much (the company) needed it to sell for.

Well, there is a similar, but somewhat "very softened but DICKS" concept of "alike big swinging dicks" that is described in quite depth with links to original routes by Ives Smith @ naked capitalism: "Bullshit promises" (BUT NOTE VERY SOFTENED DERIVATIVE of "DICKS"):

The defining characteristic of bullshit ..., is that it is speech that holds itself out as describing reality, but fails to live up to the accepted standards of how we go about making such descriptions. It is not its actual truth or falsity that determines whether a statement is bullshit, but rather whether it is made with or without regard for its truth or falsity.

Complicated life ...

Unfortunately to me, but I admit of being the "big swinging dick" during my life ...
