English term

lisco

English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) BUZ
the term comes from the news like this:" This morning, Geely Auto carried a statement clarifying that the lisco does not have any form of negotiations with Geely Groupe regarding future cooperation with Volvo currently."

What is " lisco"?

Discussion

Jack Doughty Dec 6, 2010:
DFDS Lisco ...is a ferry company operating in the Baltic. Would this make sense?

It might be a shipping company Try google (Lisco) or provide more context - otherwise no further statement is possible.

posh (adjective)

Italian (I'm not sure) word to describe something of the best: the best seats in La Scala, flats of penthouse, a booking of a luxurious yacht.
Peer comment(s):

neutral luskie : i'm italian and have never come across this word - it just reminds me of the adjective "liscio", which however has an entirely different meaning
