Trickle Down Theory (non-economic theory)

The theory that a male standing in front of a urinal--no matter how much he squeezes, pulls, pushes, wipes, or waits--has a 100% probability of urinating after he has already pulled up his pants and finished relieving himself. Being a theory, it is impossible to prove, but the experience of billions of men of all ages and throughout all time have almost made the statement a truism.

Alex (while relieving himself in front of a urinal): Hey, didn't Reagan say taxing the rich less would mean more jobs and economic opportunities for simple folk like us?

Ken (while relieving himself in an adjacent urinal): I think so. Well, hey, he gave it his best shot. Now hurry up, we're going to be late for the foreclosure hearing. (Zips up.)

Alex: Alright. (Zips up, then feels a trickle of liquid go down his leg.) WTF?? Damn you trickle down theory (non-economic theory)!!!

Ken: Haha. Got you again, huh? Looks like I was one of the lucky ones. (Feels a trickle down his leg) MOTHER#$%^*@!!!!!!!!

Economic Stockholm Syndrome

The behavior and attitudes exhibited by victims of financial subjugation, causing then to identify with and even defend their oppressors.

Q: Hey, what's up with Matt? His Dad is on social security, his mom got laid off, his sister's kids get free school lunches, he collects federal financial aid for college, and he only makes minimum wage working at Walmarts. Yet he keeps talking about how we need to cut taxes for the wealthy and quit spending so much on social programs.
A: Yeah, he thinks he's going to be a millionaire soon. He's got Economic Stockholm Syndrome.

Economic Darwinism

Free Market Capitalism, a form of Social Darwinism predicated on the ability to obtain capital, wherein companies and corporations compete in a Darwinian market that favors whatever is best for business.

In theory Capitalism (Economic Darwinism) is supposed to be regulated by the consumer, but most consumers are lazy and apathetic and the majority of them are probably idiots, as evidenced by the survival of Electronic Arts and the success of the Twilight Saga.

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.
