Get the BANGSTER mug.
A crossbreed between a douchebag and a hipster. A bagster would like the Nickleback, like a douchebag would, and Steve Aoki, like a hipster would. They would also like Kanye West, like both a douchebag and a hipster would. It's okay if you say bagster and someone thinks you said bastard. They're usually interchangeable.

Get the Bagster mug.A portmanteau of "banker" and "gangster", popularized by (among others) the economist Murray N. Rothbard, used by him to attack what he held to be the inherently fraudulent nature of Fractional-Reserve banking (as opposed to 100% gold reserve banking, which he defended as the only honest form of banking). Frequently used in reference to The Fed.
In more recent popular usage, often refers in a vague way to the forces of "Wall Street", or to those persons in the financial services industry who grow rich despite the continued impoverishment of those who depend on their services, and despite their apparent inability to succeed in business without constant government assistance.
