Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for World War II. The poster was intended to raise the morale of the British public, threatened with widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities.

Carry trade is an investment consisting of borrowing at a low interest rate to invest in an asset providing a higher rate of return, typically for less than a year.
Carry trades often involve borrowing in hard currency (such as dollars, euros, british pounds, or yen) to invest in high-risk, high-interest notes issued by third world countries.
As these investments are typically not sustainable for the issuing country, most such carry trades are cashed out (re-converted into dollars) within a year - during which net returns of 10% to 50% can often be earned.

A disastrous carry trade developed in Argentina during the Macri presidency (2015-19), as both local and foreign investors took advantage of notes with annual yields averaging over 80%. The trick was re-converting the notes into dollars before the inevitable devaluations, in which the investment could lose 20% in a day.

Get the Carried mug.Neutral-Carry is the act of thinking something is not bad, but isn't good, but you would choose it over anything else. Basically just a concept of something being neutral but being better then everything else.
e.g1: Hm, this food is more of a Neutral-Carry option.
e.g2: Call of Duty: Blacks Ops Coldwar is a Neutral-Carry to everything else tbh.
e.g3: This appeal is a Neutral-Carry to all the other appeals. Let him/her back in
