English term or phrase: frivolous expense ripe for cutting
"Now when companies raise their budgets they do so more responsibly," says Jonathan Barnard, head forecaster at Zenith Optimedia, a unit of Publicis, "and they're less likely to see marketing as a frivolous expense ripe for cutting." In past booms, he says, money spent on advertising grew much faster than the economy, and ad-spending as a share of GDP shot up. The effect was marked in 1999-2000, when dotcoms start-ups ploughed much of their newly raised capital straight into marketing.

"Ripe for cutting" cred că se referă la faptul că nu dadea roade în timp, ci era "gata de cules" rapid.
