Euronomics

In North America, Euronomics is the acquistion of various Japanese or Korean entry-model cars. Once obtained, the owner, usually of Italian or other sub-ethnic decent, will proceed to spend 90% of their wealth on maximizing the white trash appeal of the vehicle. Grossly over priced rims, often shiny with spinning emblems, exhaust tips, and other local big box items are highly sought. Once deemed road worthy by the individual, they then proceed to search for a suitable mate, often of the same socioeconomic class.

Mario, a strict believer in Euronomics and also a 10th generation Italian immigrant, spent his life savings on a 1991 Honda Civic, only to find implanting $20,000 North American dollars had increased the car's value by $400.00 dollars, or a large rock of crack cocaine.

Economic Marriage

When two people stay together in a marriage because they can't afford to divorce in today's economy. They can't sell the house in this market, and can't afford their own housing, insurance, so they stay legally married, in the same house, but live their own lives.

John and Stacy are both back on the market, but they're stuck in an Economic Marriage.

economic moat

"Economic moat" is a term coined by investor Warren Buffet. It means how susceptible a company is to competition by other companies. Coca-Cola and Phillip Morris (Marlboro cigarettes) are companies with wide economic moats because of the popularity and consumer loyalty of their marquee brands. Boeing has a narrow but deep economic moat because its 777 and 787 aircraft are not subject to immediate displacement, but companies like Airbus and Bombardier could play catch-up over the course of several years by developing similar models that would threaten their primacy. That would close the moat.

-- "Give me an example of a company with a wide economic moat."

-- "The local water company, because no competitor can rush right in with a distribution system (pipes)."

-- "Besides, who else is gonna fill that moat? lol."

nigger trap (economic)

When the police place an 18-wheeler full of expensive electronics near a group of niggers rigged to close when a nigger is caught stealing the items.

These nigger traps are often placed near KFC's and/or McDonald's, or at your local hospital emergency room.

This is often confused with a bucket of fried chicken, bananas, and watermelon.

Jamarious: "Hey, what u be'ed locked up fo'?

Leroy: "Man i got caught in a "nigger trap (economic)" in da' hood!"

economist

one who, starting from a position of over-educated and under-informed logical supposition, commences making erroneous and devastating judgements about the functioning of the world, and then formally codifies their misunderstanding in dogmatic and arrogant absurdity

man, that guy is such an *economist*, i wish he'd just listen to people once in a while!
