This word is used in the business world to mean an attempt by one company to buy out another against the target company's wishes. Come on, this is business, not war. Hitler's invasion of Poland, Napolean invading, well, Europe, these were hostile takeovers. It's business, nobody is going to be raped or slaughtered, no executions of the bosses will take place, no one's computer is going to be pillaged. It is simply a buy out.
