A slang term for movies, like Whiplash (2014), that struggle to secure substantial funding and are often created as short films to be submitted to film festivals first, aiming to gain recognition and support for full-length productions.
After years of pitching, my script ended up as a short film funding project—guess I’m in the short film game like those filmmakers behind Whiplash!

Get the HILLBILLY TRUST FUNDmug. (From the National Football League's penalty for 'excessive celebration') Said of a website that either requires you to remember yet another password or is loaded with so much advertising and pop-ups, yet has content that might be useful to you, as to be unusable. A website that doesn't pull its load.
User goes to interesting-looking site, gets bombarded with pop up ads only to find that you need to create a log-in to get the content.

Get the excessive fundingmug. A system by which the government guarantees all employed persons in the entire nation will get a certain percentage of their income by the time they retire.
This system has been fairly functional up until recently, with current demographic shifts making most current models unsustainable unless states increase the age at which a person may collect their pension.
This has effectively made most of these systems into a literal political time-bomb in the countries in which they have been implemented because the taxes that must be levied against individuals and the companies that employ them to pay for such funds has made it so that only the ultra wealthy or very well off can feasibly keep a private retirement fund, meaning that with every year the government increases the retirement age they are effectively forcing most of the population to work longer than they want to/are able to, which is shockingly very unpopular with voters.

Wealthy CEO: Oh boy I’m sure looking to retire at age 50 and leave my company to my son/daughter so they may do the same exact thing.
Average Employed Person: Damn it’s going to suck ass working until I’m 70 only to retire and have the National Pension Fund recipient age raised to 71

Get the trust fund ganstamug. Not to be confused with grass money, this term refers to a separate financial account that a homeowner maintains to cover the costs of products/services to keep his shrubbery tidy and healthy.
Burglars tend to target properties with tall/dense shrubbery that they can crouch behind and hide, so you should always keep a healthy hedge fund to ensure that your bushes stay trimmed and transparent.
