false capital

When large well known cities are not the capital of a state, the capital usually winds up being a city that no one ever hears about. Examples, Harrisburg PA, Albany NY, Carson City, Nevada etc.

Person: Wtf? Philadelhpia isn't the capital of PA? NYC isn't the capital of NY!!?!? Las Vegas isn't the capital of Nevada?!?!?

Me: Yup, there all false capitals

Classy with a capital K

1) An expression that denotes the user thinks the person or thing s/he is describing is the opposite of classy; it can be used regardless of whether the person/object is attempting to be classy (i.e. having klass rather than class).

2) Very tacky, or in some cases, trashy.

She was wearing a white blouse with a black bra, too tight daisy dukes, and clear heels

Wow, that's classy with a capital K.

Alaska's crystal meth capital

Wasilla, a small community north of Anchorage, formerly mayored by 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin.

"I can't believe they charged me for my rape kit after that meth head held me at knifepoint. It's no wonder Wasilla is Alaska's crystal meth capital."

capital accounts

Capital (in economics) refers to either equipment used to produce goods (tools, factory buildings, infrastructure) or money that is currently used to pay for business ventures. Capital accounts refers to the balance of investment that a country receives from, or supplies to, other countries over the course of a business period. So, for example, in the course of a year the people in country A may buy $1.5 million in shares and bonds from overseas, and sell $900,000 of the same (for net capital exports of $600K); meanwhile, foreigners might buy $1.2 million in shares, etc., while selling $800K of the same (capital imports of $400K). The country therefore exports $600K, imports $400K, and runs a net capital account balance of -$200K.

Over the short run, a capital account surplus can offset a current account deficit.

For the last 30 years the USA has run a surplus in its capital accounts, partly offsetting a gigantic deficit in current accounts.
