current account surplus

(ECONOMICS) the annual increase in financial claims owed to the people of particular country, MINUS any increase of claims that same people owe abroad. The net annual increase in assets resulting from commerce with the rest of the world.

COMPONENTS
There are three components of current accounts:

(2) foreign factor income (income minus outgo)
(3) net foreign aid

Usually the largest component of a current account surplus is the trade surplus, although in 1990 the USA actually had a quarterly current account surplus caused by massive "foreign aid" (actually, payments to defray the cost of waging the first Gulf War.

Currency Tha High Spitta, Curren$y, is a southern rapper on Cash Money Records.
Because of Curren$y's thick southern accent, many people in the North mistake "Currency, Tha High Spitta" with "Currency, The Hospital."

Currynoia

From working in a bar one finds strange things being left behind at the end ofafter closing. Recently there was an entire untouched take away curry. The desire to eat at the end of a hard nights work was too strong and therefore said curry had to be consumed. Currynoia is the fear of being caught by the owner of the curry looking to seek back its spicy goodness.

Also, being in bed with a girl during and post curry digestion...
1. Settling in to the forgotten curry I was startled with a sudden wave of currynioa as someone knocked on the locked door of the bar.

2. As I lay there listening to her soft breathing I was currynoid that the previously cunsumed curry would disturb her rest as it passed through me.
