monetize

to introduce a thing as currency, e.g., silver, gold, copper. In nearly all cases, when something has been monetized, it is legal tender and debtors are legally obligated to accept it as payment for debt.

Debt can also be monetized. A government can either buy the debt of companies whose growth it favors as a matter of policy (as in pre-War Japan) or permit its own bonds to be be used as banking reserves (for the creation of money).

In 1878 Congress passed the Bland Bill, which monetized silver at a ratio of 16:1 to gold.

a Monett

To be radically honest to the point of shock from interactions with people, places and events.

To achieve a great success through radical honesty to the point of shock value. For good wake ups and successes.

"Man, I walked into that board room and worked a Monett on those corporate Oil f**ks"

Or

"Losers always whine about their best, winners go home, pull a Monett and screw the Prom Queen" in a Sean Connery Hunt for Red October accent.

minetti

The shit. Egotistical, self made, conceded, referred to as "#1", can out drink anyone you know. Rockstars in bed, jackass but deep down you know he's real.

Have you met Minetti? Who's passed out on the balcony? Ooh that's just Minetti.
