In economics, a monetary policy in which the value of the local currency is determined by the foreign exchange markets, with some intervention by the government (or its allies) in the event of excessive or dangerous movements.
Usually the term is applied when the country ignores long term shifts in value, but intervenes directly to avoid crises.

Most of the nations in the world have neither a hard peg nor floating currency, but something in between--a dirty float, in which trade is under some restrictions.

Get the dirty float mug.An act between two gay men. It entails the "top" finishing his business, and then allowing the "bottom" to penetrate his partner's anus. Once this partner has "finished" his partner, the original "top" will again penetrate his partner's anus. This can eventually lead to a perpetual sex session. Why Victorian? Courtesy is the policy, once you are done, allow the other to do their business and so on.
