helicopter economics

When the monetary authorities put a seemingly unlimited amount of money into the financial system in order to stimulate the economy; as if they were flying around in helicopters and dropping money from the sky. This usually results in substantial inflation and sometimes hyperinflation.

The Federal Reserve's excessive easy money policy is helicopter economics at its worst.

ecto cooler

The official drink of Slimer, Ecto Cooler is a glorious Hi-C juice that came in a large can or juicebox back in the days when Ray, Egon, Venkman and that black dude weren't afraid of no ghosts! It was green so as one could simulate drinking slime, or more appropriately ectoplasm.

Yo Jimmy, my mom forgot to pack me a lunch and I see that you got two delicious Ecto Cooler juiceboxes in your Thundercats lunchbox. May I have one?
