South Philly

A section of the city of Philadelphia that seems not to be governed by law but rather local custom, especially south of Washington Avenue.
Newly arrived South Philly resident: "Why does everyone have their cars parked in the middle of Broad Street?"

Grizzled South Philly veteran: "This is South Philly. If you don't like it, get the fuck out of here. Yo, hit the deck, I think just heard a gunshot."

2. knowing how to behave like a giant penis; conversely, being an expert in the identification of such behaviour
jim's taking phallusophy 101 - he's read frank t.j. mackey's seduce and destroy, now he thinks he's a god

mike: bob's become a total prick since he got promoted - i heard him tell his secretary that she should "improve their relations" if she expects to get a raise...
mark: what, so you're now an expert in phallusophy?

South Philly Slide

Driving through several consecutive stoptional intersections on a street in South Philly. Because the majority of South Philly's intersections are four-way stops, and intersections are so close to one another, you don't ever drive fast between the stop signs, but you don't really stop at the signs either -- you just slide right through them.
I drove from Gray's Ferry to Pennsport the other night, but I wanted to grab a hoagie on the way, so I did the South Philly Slide down Dickinson.

philly cheese steak

One of the best sub-foods in the U.S. A real Philly Steak is normally extremely greasy, it taste real good even if it may drip grease. Not like the dumbass definitions other people put. This sub, obviously, originates from Philidelphia.
I had the munchies yesterday, I munched the fuck out on a Philly Cheese Steak.

Phillips Curve

a graph correlating inflation against unemployment rates. Using a horizontal axis to represent unemployment, and a vertical axis to represent inflation, A.W. Phillips found the rate of inflation and unemployment in Great Britain for every year between 1861 and 1957. When he had plotted the 97 dots on the chart, he had a rather neat hyperbola convex to the origin of the graph.

In other words, if the rate of unemployment was low, the rate of inflation was high, and vice versa. At the time, economists concluded that this was a logical outcome of both being influenced by the rate of interest: if interest rates were low, then unemployment would be low and prices would rise, but if interest rates were high then there would be lots of unemployment and workers would not have much money to spend... so prices would go down.

Unfortunately, when economists tried to design policy around this concept they disrupted the smooth relationship. In the years since the 1960's, there has not been a straightforward relationship, and Keynesian economics has had to be drastically revised to a post-Phillips Curve regime.

There is some correlation between inflation and unemployment, but the correlation is much more complicated than originally thought. It is quite possible to have high unemployment and high inflation (i.e., a high "misery index").
The Phillips Curve implies a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. Unfortunately, this trade-off may sometimes represent more of a Faustian bargain.
