Em um livro sobre empreendedorismo online, apareceu esse termo e fique bem confusa sobre o significado. Nas traduções sempre paro com o seguinte significado: "Um espirro descaradamente promíscuo" - o que soa muito estranho.
O contexto da frase é o seguinte: "Give 'Till It Hurts [for being such a blatantly promiscuous sneezer]".

disseminador viral de ideas
O termo é um jargão da área de vendas
"Promiscuous sneezers are folks like your dear Uncle Fred, the insurance salesman. You can always count on Fred to try to “sell” his favorite ideavirus to almost anyone, almost anytime. You know what Fred’s up to when he starts to pitch whatever it is that he’s onto now. And you know that he can be motivated by money or other inducements — which means that you start out discounting whatever he’s about to tell you. Promiscuous sneezers are rarely held in high esteem as opinion leaders, but if they’re promiscuous enough, they can be extremely effective."
