"Inverse Bubble." Most bubbles like the stock or real estate markets expand before they burst. With Inflation, there can be an "inverse bubble" when the government suppresses for years admitting real inflation rates. This bubble will explode upwards, not downwards, but everybody will be just as surprised as is typical when the usual expanding bubbles burst. Everyday common experience is that we are living in a period of great increase in prices everywhere, but in order not to pay more for social security, interest on the national debt, etc., the government has been denying real inflation for years. Just consider housing, health care, travel, education, and even a quart of milk. In the long run, all economic factors equilibrate, and one of these days we can expect a sudden, massive and surprising increase in inflation which will be as disruptive as the regular burst bubbles of recent years.
The government has denied inflation for so long, we can be sure when its inverse bubble bursts upwards, everybody will express the same astonishment as when the real estate bubble burst downwards.

The bubble couple is when you have a close friend who spends all of their time with a boyfriend or girlfriend. The close friend used to hang out and spend quality time with his/her circle of friends but no longer does so. The close friend is consumed by a temporary infatuation.

When the Japanese trains are packed at full capacity, and native Japanese refuse to stand/sit around a foreigner.

A phrase used in connection to the town of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, to describe the complete isolation of it's inhabitants to the outside world. It is a town of extremes, where the rich rub shoulders with the pseudo-poor (true poverty doesn't exist here). A juxtaposition of the beauty of the chilltern landscape against the grotesque failings of human nature. But alas, the failings and flaws of this historic town go ignored, unseen, brushed under the rug, by the parochial, closed-minded natives and the bubble remains intact.
Person 1:"He's Berko born and bred, He goes down the crown every friday and I heard he's getting married to his cousin next week"
Person 2: "That's the Berko Bubble for you"
Person 1:"She's Lived in berko her whole life. She's a posh bitch, with an unjustifiable sense of entitlement who has no concept of the the trials and tribulations of real life."
Person 2: "That's the Berko Bubble for you"
Person 1:"She spends all her daddy's money on feeding her crack habit because there's nothing else to do in this town."
Person 2: "Again, the Berko Bubble for you"

A well-known strain of marijuana. Looks like any old frosty nugs, save it's smell- which is very sweet w/ a slight hint of lemon and pine. Tastes almost exactly like bubble gum, hence the name. Very strong, also has a nicely balanced high; it's relaxing but sociable, cerebral but not paranoid, nice body buzz but no couchlock, pretty much just a euphoric, easy high. Usually is pretty expensive but well worth it.
