grab capitalism by the balls

(as a pun/ variation on the Ford F-150 commercial punch line 'grab life by the horns'): one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.
as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern WASP capitalism, people like John Locke or Thomas Hobbes.

Capitalism

A system of government where only the wealthy are allowed to have a say in political matters. You're basically paying to rent the talking stick for a while, but the policies on how even that works are vague and flowery at best.
I love capitalism! It allows me, as a rich middle-aged white man, to come together with like-minded entrepreneurs and develop a system that truly benefits us. God bless America!

romantic capital

Capital accrued from generating romantic feelings from a romantic interest.
When I bought her flowers for Valentine Day, my romantic capital with her increased.

I was trying to build my romantic capital by taking her to an expensive restaurant for dinner. She thought her romantic capital was going to increase when she got me socks and a tie as a Valentine's Day present. It DID NOT. Good riddance to her, they are the only sock I wear these days.
