executive decision

[keannu]

What is "executive decision"? It is translated "she didn't say anything", but executive is related to company high roles, but why is it used here?

Andr- What did Jim say?
Mel- You know I made an executive decision not to spoil the moment.
Andr- Good call. So, is there a difference between a ghost that come right by your house

Yes, it's related to the world of business. When a decision needs to be made on a higher level, it is an "executive decision." She is using the phrase in a joking manner.

An 'executive decision' is where one person makes a decision for the whole group (they may not agree with the decision or have even been consulted). I suppose the term does come from an 'executive' in business, who has the authority to make decisions without consulting the lower level workers.

It can also mean a personal decision made with one's own highest level of thinking.
