rat dog

A very small dog, usually less than 10 or 15 pounds, usually short-haired but not always. Usually not of much practical use as a watchdog or protector, but kept mainly as a companion by little old ladies, gay men who don't like cats, and Paris Hilton. Includes such breeds as the Chihuahua, the Miniature Pinscher, the Rat Terrier and other similarly sized breeds.

"That rat dog is 3 years old and he isn't housebroken YET?"

"I swear, if that rat dog tries to bite me again, I'll stuff him in a sock and hang him up as cat bait!"

Deconomy

1. A depressed economy, whether at a personal or national level.
2. The cost-cutting measures taken by a person who is unemployed or underemployed, such as buying cheaper gas or eating at home instead of in restaurants, verb: deconomize
3. Being laid off or having one's income reduced, being 'deconomized', or the act of reducing a labor force through layoffs, plant closures and other draconic cost-cutting measures as a means of saving corporate money

Joe: Hey, how's your job search going?
Schmo: Terrible. No one's hiring in this deconomy

Joe: So how are you holding up financially?
Schmo: We've had to deconomize. We quit eating out and now I put cheap gas in my car. Man, it's been tough ever since XYZ deconomized its entire manufacturing division. Guess they wouldn't have been able to pay the huge CEO bonuses otherwise.

Eating by proxy

When you order a healthy or low-calorie item in order to give the appearance of sticking to a healthy eating pattern, then load it up with fattening ingredients in order to make it taste better or delude yourself into believing that the proxy food is still healthy. Gives the outward appearance of a healthy choice, when in reality it has as many calories and as much fat as the not-so-healthy meal that you really wanted in the first place.

Jordan is on a diet, so she ordered a salad. However, she really wanted a hamburger. So, she ordered the salad in order to look like she's sticking to her diet, but then she topped it with lots of cheese, bacon and ranch dressing. Now her salad has as many calories as the burger that she really wanted in the first place. Her friends praise her for sticking to her diet by ordering the salad, not taking into account that all the extras have put that salad into fat-bomb category. Jordan is 'eating by proxy', whereby the salad is the 'proxy' for the 'fattening' hamburger.
