hyperinflation

A rapid and accelerated increase of the prices of most goods and services within an economy. Usually happens whenever production of money vastly outpaces the production of goods/services, quickly lowering its value. This phenomenon has been observed in both real and virtual economies.

Zimbabwe experienced hyperinflation starting in 2004 when the government of Robert Mugabe began printing more banknotes with increasing face values (the hundred-trillion dollar banknote being the highest-valued) to pay for its expenses. After chopping off zeroes thrice to keep zeroes from overcrowding the increasingly-worthless bills, the Zimbabwean dollar was abandoned in 2009 and foreign currencies are now used instead.

Also, after Gary Schofield and Jason Loia took over Gaia Online in 2013, the site began directly selling Gaia Gold (the site's virtual currency) for real money, immediately triggering hyperinflation in the user-run virtual auction house. The continued sale of gold-generating items devalued Gaia Gold by at least ten thousand times.

rhetorical hyperinflation

The rapid and out-of-control increase in the face value of words used, accompanied by an equal or greater decrease in the real value of those words.

(In 1998 baseline value): "This sausage roll is a bit dry."

(In 2007 after 692% (approx) rhetorical hyperinflation): "This sausage roll - El Rodillo de la Diablo - is a desert of pastry which has sucked my moisture, my bodily essence, indeed my living soul into its dry, barren abyss. Cough."

hyperintellectual

1. Succinctly, they are to the intellectual what the intellectual is to the layman.
2. Something more people should aspire to be, as opposed to merely becoming a member of the common intellectual class.

"Wow, I heard that XYZ is a billionaire social-critic professor chessmaster and is working in fields with potentially history-shattering implications."
"What a lucky guy."
"Nah, I don't think it's luck; I think he's just a hyperintellectual."
