economizing

urban economizing (term introduced by economist M. Filyak) is growing plants, small animals and mushrooms as a substitute for rural activity in urban environment with the aim of additional profit, usually supplementary in nature.
Приклади urban economizing є чисельними - вирощування квітів та декоративних вазонів у квартирах, розсади на продаж та для розмноження на присадибних ділянках - у квартирах, грибів у підвалах, виробництво добрив з відходів (останнє особливо популярне у Японії), розмноження шиншил, котів, собак та хом’яків у квартирах, вирощування червів-опаришів для риболовлі. Ці види діяльності не потребують дачі або іншої заміської землі, тому у такому рослинництві використовуються пакети з землею, гідропоніка. До таких типів господарювання (що часто стає розвитком підприємництва) з певними умовами відноситься і «хенд-мейд», а також вишивка та в’язання, виготовлення в домашніх умовах тортів та іншої випічки «під замовлення» у магазини та на свята.

Hot Waitress Economic Index

Hot Waitress Economic Index (HWEI) is an unofficial and controversial economic indicator suggesting that when the economy tanks, suddenly all the servers at restaurants become ridiculously attractive because hot people who normally work better-paying jobs are forced to wait tables. The hotter your server, the more fucked the economy probably is.

The HWEI is one of the many weird indicators that people have used to make sense of the economy. Advertisements by the United States Marine Corps, sales of men's underwear, and even lipstick sales are just a few of them.

You can expect to see tougher marine recruitment ads on TV in a difficult economy because they meet recruitment goals quickly in down economies. They don't have to worry about scaring people away. Men's underwear sales will dip (that pair might last a little longer) and lipstick sales will go up because it's a relatively inexpensive personal luxury.
Kevin: Damn, my waitress last night was hot, why is she working at The Cheesecake Factory?? According to the Hot Waitress Economic Index, we're definitely heading for a recession.
