trade surplus

the amount of goods and services that a country exports, minus the goods and services that it imports *in a calendar year*. In 1999 Japan exported much more than it imported, so it had a trade surplus. The same year, the United States imported more than it exported, and therefore had a large trade deficit.

While Japan had a trade surplus and the USA had a trade deficit, both had something called a trade balance, which was negative for the USA and positive for Japan.

A country can have an overall trade deficit (like the USA in all years since 1980) and still have trade surpluses with individual countries (e.g., the USA occasionally has trade surpluses with Brazil).

Usually, when a country runs a trade surplus it tends to export the excess foreign currency back to the deficit country as portfolio investment. In this way, the foreign currency retains its value.

Trident dick

an extremely large, erect penis with three separate heads. Often used in Indian pornography to cut budgets. Has the ability to pleasure three cavities, but does not receive three-fold pleasure itself.

Dude 1: Scariest shit last night at Luke's
Dude 2: What happened?
Dude 1: We were all joking about who had the bigger package and the conversation really got tense. Jeff kept saying his was the biggest and we told him there was no way. He freaked out and yelled " I have a trident dick!" and then we all lost it and couldn't stop laughing. Then he started to cry and just whipped it out. It looked exactly like Poseidon's trident.
Dude 2: Word?
Dude1: Word.

Wingman Trade

A trade completed by an NBA executive who is a former champion of the club he's trading his player(s) to. Usually Wingman Trades are massively lopsided, appearing to make one party seem like a "wingman" who completely screws himself over for the benefit of his buddy who reaps the rewards/nails the prom queen.

Recent Wingman Trades include KG to Boston, and Gasol to LA.

Lakers fan: "Dude! Did you hear? Gasol got sent to the Lakers for absolutely nothing! How the f--k did they pull that off?!"
Grizzlies fan: "Wingman Trade. F--k you"
