Ergonomics 

Ergonomics is a design method that utilizes human factors psychology whereby each factor that affects human well-being is considered in the design process of a tool, object, space or system. the person is assessed as an individual and there is no blanket-sweep approach, the system fits to accommodate the individuals and not the other way around. with ergonomics we no longer have to 'fit in' and conform but are free to be ourselves with a system that supports and strengthens both individuals and groups as a whole. Ergonomics seeks to decrease unhealthy stress of the body and mind to reduce injury, improve their life and strengthen organizations. Ergonomics is an efficient scientific tool that enables independent and equal access to buildings and services. there is a powerful economic argument that improved well-being equals improved productivity and that slave labor and poor living conditions are unsustainable and in the long run, simply bad for business. therefore putting human well-being at the core to our systems is more profitable than chasing profit; the irony. Additionally by putting well-being at the core of our world, sustainability would be an inevitable byproduct. Ergonomics is an ideologically neutral and pragmatic tool.
"Ergonomics" Most people think of left-handed scissors, office chairs or braille keypads when they think about ergonomics but it is all encompassing and can be applied just as easily to computer interfaces, architecture, urban spaces, organizations, systems and services. An ergonomic system has both efficiency and empathy.

"my shoes are designed to mold to the individual contours of my feet to support my spine and core strength, they're well ergonomic"

Reading the Economist 

Can be used in two ways:

1. Describes a sexual act that could have occurred between two close friends as they share a shower together while one person is supposedly reading the Economist, or

2. Describes the use of a completely non-sensical excuse to explain why a guy and a girl were in the shower at the same time.
"Hey..we knocked on the door for like 15 minutes and no one answered..where were you?"

"In the shower with my friend."

"DOING WHAT?!"

"I was cold, so I decided to sit in the bathroom and absorb the steam, and so I was reading the Economist while I was there."

ecumomics 

A postmanteau of economics + cumming: the 'study' of sexual partners; analysis of one's socio-sexual circumstances from a supply-and-demand point of view.
A person experiencing a high demand for sexual action from multiple prospective partners is said to be in a good ecumomic position: "Oh man, she is going out with five guys at the moment. I'd kill to be in her ecumomic situation!"

Conversely, one without any sexual prospects at a given time is said to be in ecumomic drought: "Oh my god, NO chicks are into me right now! I feel like I'm in an ecumomic recession... there are no jobs out there for me right now."

(Ecumomic is the most frequently applied form of ecumomics.)
