ad rage

A feeling of uncontrolled anger when surfing the internet and you are forced to watch an unsolicited video advertisement.

I get massive ad rage when I am forced to watch a ad video, when I am in a hurry.

Helicopter Ben

Helicopter Ben is a coined name for Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The origin of this "nickname" stems from statements made by the Chairman in regards to a hypothetical monetary crisis. He basically indicated that if there were a liquidity squeeze, he would direct helicopters to be flown around the country spewing out fistfuls of cash to the populous.

Don't worry about a recession, Helicopter Ben will save us.

enviro-panetheism

The religion of the Na'vi in Avatar. The religious concept that God is in the nature of all things, that one can become one with whatever is in the natural enviroment, but still retain identity.

When I first saw Avatar, everyone stood up and clapped at the end of the movie: the enviro-panetheism theme connected with everyone.

space-time

The space-time concept is the most difficult to explain or understand in the entirety of human knowledge. We perceive reality in terms of up and down, left and right, even jokes are made like: "He doesn't know up from down." For we view things in relativistic terms, and dualisms. Does up exist by itself? Does left exist by itself? Are they continuum's? Can an event exist as a non-event. Are space and time inseparable dualities? How many dimensions are there--one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then eleven. Black holes, white holes event horizon, helix, super galactic, sub-atomic, worldlines. string-like, super-strings, quarks, gluon's, tachyons, big-bang, big-bang plus 1 x 10 minus 18th second. An event in terms of x,y, and z with respect to a rotational helix with a velocity equal to c on the worldline so long as it occurs outside the event-horizon and stays within the worldline. That's why they messed up the Philadelphia experiment.

You are playing God when you mess with the space-time continuum.

econobabble

New self-coined word used to describe the self proclaimed wisdom of all the present day pseudo-economists. They have 100 bogus reasons for what just happened, and just as many for what didn't happen. Kind of like watching sports announcers, during a game, hamming up the leading team and acting like they knew what was going to happen all the time--when they didn't have a clue.

I get so tired of reading all the so-called "experts" on the economy, when in reality it is all just econobabble.

stockflation

Informal inflation index "voted upon" by "short" and "long" day-traders in global market. Roughly a measure of inflationary forces vs deflationary monetary assets. Some of the obvious indicators are called the Dow, Nasdaq, and the Standard and Poors. Calculated roughly as the inverse of the monetary symbol, as in the US, the dollar.

Stockflation has become the modern mantra for the illusion of wealth.
