Madame Bovary Syndrome

From Gustave Flaubert’s 1857 novel, modern Madame Bovary syndrome refers to a woman plagued with tendency to assume massive consumer debt in order to support a chic or extravagant life-style.
My rejection of the “ownership society” clashed with my former wife’s Madame Bovary Syndrome. Her profligate consumerism and aspirations for the “pretty life” lead to mountains of credit card debt.

Corruptometer

Simple anthropometric device used for measuring the correlation between personal corruption and the girth of the bellies of inhabitants of impoverished regions of the world. One notes a generalized increase in levels of illicit behavior as the belly measurements increase. Bolstered by designer gyms, chic life-styles and personal trainers, radically different conclusions will be noted from analysis of corruptometer readings drawn from subjects from the post-industrial world.
"We used the corruptometer to suss out who was dastardly in the group of strangers who took us in following the fall of the dictatorship."
