econut

Those that will set fire to a lot full of new SUV's, releasing the resultant poisonous gases into the local air, in order to save the Earth from(enter the crusade flavor of the day here).

Damn econuts just drove spikes into those old growth trees. I guess they dont figure trees feel pain.

economitard

1) one who subscribes to foolish economic principles such as trickle-down and voodoo economics, pyramids, ponzi schemes, fuzzy math, and similar financial snake-oils.

The economitards fail to see that great wealth for one means great poverty for many.

weed economy

A stash of money used for the sole purpose of purchasing weed. Often gained by charging for smoking people up, selling alcohol, or any method of shady moneymaking.

"Dude when are we getting that sack?"

"I don't know if I can drop a lot of cash, how much do we have in the weed economy?"

"Looks like 70 bucks"

"O hell ya!"

trickle down economics

n. The most absurd economic theory that ever existed. It includes giving the rich large sums of money. Accordingly, the wealthy will then hoarde the money into banks and there will therefore, be less money in circulation.

Herbert Hoover used trickle down economics, taking money from the poor and giving it to the wealthy. He is responsible for the Great Depression.

this economy

Scofflaws, cheats, deadbeats and other losers use this phrase as an excuse for their miserable failures in managing their money

I'd love to pay you for cleaning my pool Eugene but in "this economy" I just can't! Sorry.

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."
