Definitions and meanings of "Promotional"

What do we mean by promotional?

An advertising promotion

To bring someone or something of lower class up to a higher better class,as in clubs and partys. Urban Dictionary

An increase in pay, title, and responsibility for an employee within a company that should be based on his hard work - but occasionally is based on nepotism, office politics, or sycophantic behavior while on the job. Urban Dictionary

What results when pornography is posted somewhere, often a message board, that is purportedly worksafe (e.g., The New York Times homepage). Many might think that the appearance of such material on a workplace monitor would lead to firings or at least a stern talking-to. But in one of life's little mysteries, 4chan's /v/ discovered that most employees are actually promoted instead, perhaps in approval for their viewing such interesting internet content. Urban Dictionary

A 4chan meme which started on /v/. Since /v/ is ostensibly a work-safe board, people assume it's completely safe to browse the board at work (hence the name). One day, someone posted a NSFW image, and one person posted "My boss walked by when I had the image open at work, and I got fired." Someone responded "I got promoted," implying he was promoted to replace the first guy. Soon after, when someone posted another work-unsafe image, one person responded "PROMOTIONS!" People unfamiliar with the phrase's origins believed it to be wholly ironic, and thought it was so hilarious they repeated it whenever work-unsafe material finds its way onto the board, and then it became a true meme. It should NOT be assumed that bosses like to see their workers watch porn at work. Urban Dictionary

N.; one employed by a nightlife venue, e.g. a bar, lounge, or club, whose purpose is to increase the hype of the venues (for nascent venues) and maximize the clientele (for more established venues) - that is, attract a wealthy, good-looking, and extroverted crowd - by distributing complimentary passes and contact information at places where such clientele may be found, such as outside a competing venue during closing; the promoter usually gets paid in proportion to the revenue earned during the night he/she was promoting, generally not as lucrative as a bartender, but better than a bouncer; over 80% of promoters are male Urban Dictionary

To raise higher, usually in a job status. Urban Dictionary

To perpetuate or elevate the status of a person, concept, ideal, organization or the like. Etymology stems from a Middle-English amalgamation of Latin 'pro-' (for) and Middle English 'motan' (allow, must). To offer support for allowance to continue is to promote. The opposite of condemn and dissent. Urban Dictionary

The act of trying to get people to come into a nightclub, either via advertisement or word of mouth. To assemble a concert or club event. Urban Dictionary

The purported result of viewing NSFW on a (supposedly) worksafe message/imageboard. Originates from the /v/ board of 4chan, where it was a common joke to post that you just got fired because your boss caught you looking at NSFW material. Was later changed to "promotions", probably because the irony/absurdity of it made it funnier. Urban Dictionary

Slang among retail workers for being fired. Urban Dictionary
