Economic Maguire

When the person in charge of the country's economy does not have a clue of what they're doing and is unintentionally sabotaging the economy from within

I can't believe that he still thinks he's saving the country's economy by introducing that new ridiculous bill. What he's actually doing is going full economic Maguire to the country instead.

A return to voodoo economics will not fix the problems.

Economic Teabag

Sticking it to a liberal organization by buying a competitor's product.

I hope GM is enjoying my economic teabag, because I only buy Lexus products.

economical of effort

A clever way of calling someone, including yourself, "lazy".

1: Damn, man, you're so lazy!
2: I'm not lazy, I'm just economical of effort.

Economy Lube

An Ontario quick lube and oil chain that has been known to scam unsuspecting drivers. It may offer a 10-minute oil change for $20, but upsell you with stuff you don't need. CBC program Marketplace nailed those skeezebags putting in oil and other fluids that could wreck your car, or not doing the job you paid them to do. Beware.

Want to wreck your new car? Take it to Economy Lube.

My brother is so dumb that he drove his truck to Economy Lube for an oil change. The grease monkeys who obviously got kicked out of a sketchy trade school put in the wrong fluids - and, now, my brother has to pay $4,000 for a new engine. Moron!

Jam Econo

To have a band that rocks without any bull-crap on the side. No airplanes, hotel rooms, fancy tour buses or light shows. Simple tour van that barely fits all the equipment and the few musicians - show up to a gig, play and move on, sleeping in the van or borrowing a couch for the night. Also requires that the band can actually fulfill the 'jam' part - you have to be able to rock once onstage.
note: this does NOT mean you have to have cheap equipment, only that your actual musical life is lived at a minimum.

The Minutemen's do-it-yourself attitude made them experts of jam econo.

economic bubble

A phenomenon in economics in which too much loose cash finds its way into an area of the market, e.g., stocks, housing, dot-com, etc., resulting in a buying frenzy that leads to wildly inflated prices. Economic activity in those areas affected is not sustainable in the long run, so large numbers of late investors eventually go bankrupt.

We were warned of an economic bubble, but bought high-priced shares anyway thinking we could unload them on some poor sap before the bubble burst. Boy, were we wrong!
