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.)

Economic Headwinds

Reason given by publicly traded companies while reporting poor performance to investors.

Hey Joe last quarter really sucked we should not have decorated our offices and written big bonus checks to ourselves, what should we do? No worries, I have an easy response, we just tell our investors that we hit economic headwinds and that is why profits are down.
