Econotainment 

Econo-tainment. Its about entertaining in post-recession America. Any form of less-expensive entertaining that you do as a result of the recession. So you don't throw a dinner party: you throw a pot-luck! Or you invite people over to play scrabble and drink a couple of bottles of good wine. OR you rent a video instead of going out to the movies. Or you eat out at a less-expensive restaurant, or you have friday-after-work drinks at someone's home rather than hitting a bar....um that is if you still have a job.
For tonight's Econotainment I've made nachos. You bring the beer, and we'll all play pictionary! Yeah!

Darling, Econotainment is so simple: we skip the caviar and serve everyone chicken instead of that wild-caught Salmon.

The new dress code in Monte Carlo this year is all ecouture, from bathing suits to purses that will charge and power a cell phone, tablet or other e-device.

Supply Side Econotard 

1. Someone who idiotically thinks that cutting taxes will increase revenue. Ergo, responsible for our 9 trillion dollar national debt.

2. Believes in slashing programs for the poor to give tax cuts to the wealthy.
Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush are examples of the prototypical Supply Side Econotard.

Ecouteurism 

Being sexually aroused by eavesdropping on people, often people having sex or using the toilet.

It's like voyeurism for the ears.
"Ew! I just saw a guy in the female toilets with a microphone masturbating!"
"Sounds like an ecouteurist!"

"I feel so guilty. I overheard my neighbours having sex and it out me in the mood and I got off on it!"
"Well, sounds like you've discovered you're into ecouteurism!"

Econotaining 

Verb: The act of entertaining in reduced financial circumstances.
I know last year we treated your friends at the restaurant for your birthday, but this year we'll have to split the bill and econotain.

Because we are econotaining, everyone will BYOB and play charades here at my house.

Our first date was econotaining: he took me biking. It was OK...

Egonut is someone who exaggeratedly loves himself. He thinks he owns the universe. An egonut usually snubs everyone. He also believes that he's very famous and rich even though he can't afford rice and beans.
Bobo: Hi Pepe, would you like to play tennis with me today?

Pepe: Are you kidding me? I 'm too pretty for the tennis court. I belong to a country club.

Bobo: Well, I'm going to the burger stand. Do you care to join me?

Pepe: Dude, I only consume caviar and fine wines.

Bobo: You don't have a job.

Pepe: I'm a movie star!

Bobo: Dude, you're an EGONUT!
