Get the platonic (for boat and kil) mug.Plebonomics
noun /ˌplɛb.əˈnɒ.mɪks/
1. A political strategy focused on gaining the support of the general populace (plebs) by promising economic benefits that are often superficial, trivial, or not feasible in the long term. Such promises are usually designed to appeal directly to the immediate desires or needs of the common people, rather than offering sustainable solutions to economic issues.
2. The practice of proposing populist economic policies during election campaigns that are perceived as pandering to the base instincts of voters, rather than being based on sound economic principles. These policies are often criticized for being short-term fixes or gimmicks rather than substantive economic reforms.
Usage:
The party's latest promise of reducing the tax on everyday items was dismissed by critics as plebonomics, arguing it was a superficial attempt to win votes rather than a viable economic policy.
In the run-up to the elections, several candidates engaged in plebonomics, offering immediate but unsustainable financial incentives to sway the electorate.
Derivation:
Coined from "pleb," referring to the common people, and "economics," indicating the field of economic policies and strategies. The term implies a cynical use of economic promises to manipulate or appeal to the broad base of voters without offering genuine or long-term economic benefits.

Chris: Right. We need real solutions, not just economic sweeteners.
Jordan: Agreed. But as long as plebonomics wins votes, I doubt we'll see a change in strategy anytime soon.

Get the Plutonic Friendship mug.I met this girl a few years ago and we had tried to become something great in a relationship but it never worked out. Since then we’ve only been best friends and we’ve told each other everything, we’ve had people leave our lives but we’ve always made sure to stay there for each other. I used to not be someone she wanted to open up to so the friendship was always one-sided sometimes but after she realized people were leaving her but that I wasn’t she decided to open up to me and let me give her advice the way she seeked from others instead. We’ve been friends for almost 4 years now, and once last year I started feeling like maybe me and her are meant to be more in the future. I started thinking the same thing recently maybe me and her will become something more in the future when we hangout a lot or go to college together hopefully. It’s very confusing to me because I don’t know if she feels the same way or not or if she has thought the same things I have. It’s told that platonic friends don’t think about anything like sexual attraction or truly being with each other so I don’t know if this is just feelings that are growing really strong for her overtime and that I’m really just in love with her deep down but I’ve been hiding it.
Friend 1: “Your relationship could be Platonic or Romantic. Platonic Friendship is not having any sexual desire for each other and not being in love.”
Friend 2: “I don’t know if I want her that way or not”
Friend 2: “I don’t know if I want her that way or not”
