A small, supple woodland sprite that has the consistency and appearance of beef. These bois are easily startled and may emit a ruddy liquid from their nether regions when particularly stressed. Natives used to harvest them, and there are accounts of their flavor being fruity, with hints of mutton. After early English settlers arrived in America, the species was over hunted and eventually the population dwindled into extinction.
I managed to get one sweaty mitt on that beefling, but the darned thing inked and slipped right out of my grasp

Get the beefling mug.A van for those who can’t justify a VW Caddy. Some utility without the downsides of a larger van. Beware however, as you’ll likely be mistaken as a 70 year old pensioner or someone who can’t afford rent.

Get the berlinghoff mug.The calculated practice of manufacturing or manipulating scarcity for the express purpose of exaggerating and sustaining the perceived value, desirability, or exclusivity of a commodity, service, or even an abstract idea. The term takes its name from the historical strategies of the De Beers diamond corporation, which successfully fostered a cultural and economic mythology of rarity around diamonds despite their relative geological abundance. In this sense, De Beering refers to any deliberate attempt to withhold supply, obscure availability, or construct a narrative of uniqueness that serves to elevate market prices and social prestige. It encapsulates a mode of economic and cultural engineering in which scarcity itself becomes the principal product, reshaping consumer behaviour, fuelling aspirational demand, and embedding the illusion of preciousness within the collective imagination.
A clear example of De Beering could be seen in 2022, when Shell capitalised on the lingering perception of oil scarcity in the wake of Covid-19. By maintaining the narrative of shortage despite stable reserves, the company achieved a record-breaking profit margin of around £40 billion, the highest in its history. This reflected not natural market conditions but the strategic engineering of scarcity to inflate value and consolidate shareholder wealth.
