Business Card
noun
Take your name and stab someone with it... using your business card. Your business card has your name on it. Also, you "stab" it at people who are willing to take it and read it. Not a real stab, but a metaphorical.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. You haven't learned this reading for 刺 yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you:
After doing business in Japan, you'll have so many business cards you can count them like sheep (し) when you're trying to get to sleep. One business card, two business cards… See them leaping over the sheep fence as you begin to nod off.
