When you decide to capitalize certain proper nouns based on whether or not you like the person, place, or thing.
"I really enjoy the Keith Olbermann show."
"Cool, how do you feel about the Sean Hannity show?"
"I hate sean hannity."
"Using selective capitalization, huh?"
"Indeed."

Get the Under Capitalized mug.An economic system based on two basic truisms:
1. Humans are greedy
2. Humans act in their own self interest FIRST
Capitalism exploits these two truisms by creating an economic structure in which benefiting yourself benefits the society as a whole. For example, when Jeff Bezos created Amazon, he benefited himself by giving himself complete financial freedom; and he benefited the society as a whole by providing fast, reliable shipping and delivery.

Get the Capitalism mug.Terrible system where a lucky few are born into obscene wealth while the average person has to work 8 hours a day just to stay alive and those who can't find work starve to death.
We must never abandon capitalism because I deserved all 100 million of my dollars because I got lucky and was born into a rich family.

Get the capitalism mug.When a company profits on the image of minorities on its website to fake diversity, while paying lip service to building a more diverse company in the long run.
Using photoshopped images or stock photos on its website to make a company look as if it embraces a multiracial workforce is nothing but racial capitalism in action to mislead potential employees, shareholders, and the public.

Get the Racial Capitalism mug.The act of selling products out of the school bathroom. It can range from one kid selling a single item to organized competetive markets of products. Usually the items sold are things the school doesn't allow.
Mike: I heard Caleb made two hundred dollars selling nicotine gum ten dollars a piece in the bathroom.
Joe: Bathroom capitalism at it's finest. Someone should start a competitive sale!
