Economic Theology

The practice of placing faith in an economic doctrine solely on the basis that it aligns with your political dogma. This holds especially true for economic doctrine that is refuted by empirical evidence to the contrary, or otherwise relies on intangible evidence as a basis for speculation.

Thoosie

Short for enthusiast, this is a culture made up of mainly homosexual teenage men who have a strong passion for rollercoasters. Easily spotted at parks wearing merch from Cedar Point and queuing for the last row with cargo pants stuffed with worthless park maps which they immediately cover their bedroom with. This insufferable group thinks they are better than the average going theme park guest, when in reality they are unbearable to be around. They are physically unable to talk about anything other than theme parks, their entire world revolves around it.
