Even though your mom only goes for three dollars a day, I still get sticker shock every time I chuck it in that whore.

From Hank Williams Jr's song "Family Tradition":
Hank: "So don't ask me, Hank, why do you drink?"
Crowd: "To get drunk!"
Hank: "Hank, why do you roll smoke?"
Crowd: "To get high!"
Hank: "Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?"
Crowd: "To get laid!"

Zero Interest Rate Phenomenon. In the period of near-zero interest rates that lasted from roughly 2008-2021, cash was cheap and many people - especially large tech companies - were throwing away money on silly things. Those things went away in 2022 and are now known as ZIRPs.
Googler 1: “Arrrgh I can’t fix this bug! Can you call the office fluffer down here to help get my mind off this for a bit?”
Googler 2: “Sorry chief, they got rid of the fluffers in ‘22. Just like the dog spa and the corporate Segways. Those were all ZIRPs, bud. Welcome to the age of austerity.”

To shamelessly increase diversity, inclusion, and references to modern-day issues in a story to promote social justice. The opposite of whitewash.
Writer: “I’ve got a movie idea! Let’s do the moon landing, except all the astronauts are morbidly obese paraplegic non-binary Muslim Australian aboriginals!”
Director: “Brilliant! This is your best idea since we won that Oscar for ‘D-Dayversity’, the story about the Normandy invasion except with all autistic pansexual transgender Kalahari bushpeople. You can wokewash like nobody I’ve ever seen!”

The New York Jets. New Jersey Jest is a more appropriate name for the team because:
1) They play in the Meadowlands a.k.a. Giants Stadium, which is in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Yes, the Jest is so pitiful that they actually play in a stadium named for another NFL team.
2) The team is a joke - or in other words, a jest.
Also called the New York or New Jersey Puddle Jumpers (since "Jets" is a bit of an overstatement given the team's performance).

After Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens led them to a series of embarrassing losses in 2007, the New Jersey Jest toyed with the idea of bringing back legendary quarterback Joe Namath...at the age of 64.

A phrase used to describe a stark difference between two things. Similar to night and day, but "day and night" implies things got worse whereas "night and day" implies things got better. Sometimes preceded by "like."
JJ Redick was the man back in college, but now that he's in the NBA, he seems content to be a bench warmer averaging 4 points a game. The difference in his performance has been day and night.
Jake: "Wow bro, it was really light out here around 3 in the afternoon, but now that it's 9:00, it's dark as hell."
Blake: "For real dude. The difference in darkness level is like day and night."

An all-purpose excuse that people use during a recession to justify doing things that are below their usual standard. Often these things in reality have little or nothing to do with the economic circumstances.
Harry: "You took your girlfriend to Applebee's on Valentine's Day? Pretty weak."
Larry: "Whatever man, I didn't have a choice. Bad economy."
Senator: "Mr. Paulson, you really want to give the greedy, soulless bankers who caused this mess $700 billion with no strings attached?"
Henry Paulson: "Hey guys, bad economy. Just do it."
Senator: "Good point. I vote yes."
Fred: "Dude, tell me you didn't go home with that broke down 300-pound whale I saw you with at O'Shea's last night."
Brendan: "Dude, it's a bad economy. I'll take what I can get."
Fred: "Yeah, I guess you have to."
