Word of the Day: Brain trust
Brain trust sounds like a funny term, doesn’t it?
It is quite often used in professional situations.
If we break it down, ‘brain’ refers to intelligent people and ‘trust’ represents a group.
Hence a brain trust is a group of intelligent people whose job it is to advise a politician or a company leader.
I guess they are supposed to be talented or at least knowledgeable in their area of specialization.
Sometimes, I wish I had a brain trust to advise me on what to do.
I tell you, if I did have one, I would use their advice to make a little money, then take time off to hang around a beach for a few months.
Then things really would be looking up!
