ponzi-traction

Describes an investment-fraud scheme dat reduces classic areas/incidents of "slippage" within said financial rat-hole.

Jordan Belfort might have benefited from a bit more ponzi-traction --- rather than keeping quiet and low-key about his vast ill-gotten fortune, said "wolf of Wall Street" openly lived a lavish and dissipative lifestyle which made him easily noticeable to da authorities.

Attention Span Ponzi Scheme

An Attention Span Ponzi Scheme is a system of recruitment of people to pay attention to a topic. People recruited to the topic are then encouraged to drag in the attention spans of others.

The entire system collapses when everyone realizes that the topic is bankrupt of value to be discussed in the first place.

Examples of Attention Span Ponzi Schemes include chain letters, time-wasting Facebook applications, and any social reference group that is based on recruiting others to participate or play for the subject to have sustained interest.

Pontiac Syndrome

An aversion to using vehicle headlights suffered by drivers of General Motors cars.

Sufferers believe that headlights are "uncool" and will activate only the parking lights until stopped by the police.

Why does that car have only its parking lights on at 3 a.m.?

He's got Pontiac Syndrome.
