financial crisis

(ECONOMICS) a shock to the industrial system caused by massive errors in investment decisions. In essence, financial crises are failures of the capital markets (stock exchanges, etc.) to do their job.

In the lead-up to a financial crisis, money entrusted to capital managers to invest is spent instead on bolstering the plutonomy. Then, when those same capital managers are overleveraged, it becomes obvious that the economy has been producing the wrong stuff; its corporations are therefore worth a lot less than everyone had supposed they were.

Then people sell their shares of stock, causing a liquidity crisis for many firms, which react by firing people and dumping anything of value at reduced prices.

This requires a lot of expensive genius to do well.
While there is little evidence so far that the 2008 financial crisis was engineered by any one perpetrator, the very same economic elites who caused it are now poised to benefit from it by imposing "disaster capitalism."

financial hangover

Far worse than nausea, headaches, vomit stains, battle wounds, dehydration, cramps, gas, the shits, grogginess, toilet hugging or when “the sunlight hits you dead in the eye, like it’s mad you gave half the day to last night.”

Occurs when you wake up and notice you’ve spent a copious amount of money the previous blackout night. Could include leaving your tab open at a bar, or simply losing your wallet like a true inebriated dumbfuckboozer.
Dude, I’ve got the worst hangover. My head is pounding harder than I pounded that slizz last night.

Check your wallet fuckface, I bet your financial hangover’s worse. You bought the entire bar shots of Jack last night.
-
Yo, you gotta have the worst financial hangover mankind’s eva seen. You bought multiple fifths, a quap of trees, six pizzas and an STD-free prostitute.

I wish I remember at least one of those purchases, but at least I’m classy and didn’t buy myself the herp.

Buck Finale

Buck Finale is the ONE thing you do better than anything else, and THE thing you do better than anyone else you know. It's the main thing you do that everyone admires and it's the thing that brings you ultimate confidence, enjoyment and well being - because it is THE thing you do best.

Buck Finale is derived from the 2008 motion picture, "The Great Buck Howard", starring John Malkovich, Colin Hanks, and Emily Blunt. Malkovich is a has-been entertainer who demands that everyone refer to him as a "mentalist" instead of a magician. At the end of every show Buck performs his famous Finale, a magic trick that astounds everyone in the audience and provides Malkovich's Buck Howard with incredible enjoyment and satisfaction.
Sheet, bro! I ain't NEVER seen nobody get up in that like you, man. You be doin' that Buck Finale.
