This is based on an actual conversation that I had with a friend of mine who is an equity analyst with a European bank and with an illustrious academic career. The following conversation beautifully illustrates what the two years at B-school and Corporate world do to most people!
Friend: I was off to Vietnam on the weekend
Me: Wow! I get to travel to the sambhar-vada shop round the corner on my average weekend and you go to Vietnam. I am so envious!
Friend: No need to be envious. You travel more often. So it evens out!
Me: WHATTTT! If these two are comparable, why do not you, the humanoid leaky cauldron, include your innumerable number of visits to the loo! Anyway, bidesh brabhaman ki manyata humesha se hi desh bhatkan se jyada rahi hai!!
Friend: Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam are not strictly bidesh
Me: When did you visit Nepal and Bhutan?
Friend: Nepal when I was 3 yr old and Bhutan was a second-hand visit through YYY and a few batch mates at the IIM in the eastern part of the country
Second-Hand visit!!! A jargon definitely worthy of the stereotypical jargon spouting MBA. Another one lost to the jargon trap!

what does second-hand visit mean?
mba topi
A visit that was made through anecdotes and photographs.The trip was never made physically. Bhutan was just added to the previous sentence to add weight. And the "second-hand visit" jargon is a vain attempt to justify the same.
