one who dwells in the margins of society, often neglected and not well understood by the majority; sometimes speaks with prophetic insight to those from whom he or she is alienated; in anthropology, sub-cultures that survive outside of majority social norms (for example, forest dwellers)
"In contrast to the interpretations of Western commentators, the “margin-dweller” of Upanishadic criticism, Grinshpon argues that the metaphysical philosophy of the Upanishads cannot be reduced to “contents” and studied without consideration of the lives and experiences (or contexts) of Upanishadic characters if we want to understand the full import of early Indian religious literature."

Get the maraing mug.A dirty marian is the type of gal that's gone through several husbands. You can tell their most recent husband has died of natural causes by the silk robe with fur cuffs and collar they wear immediately after his death. When she isn't married to a rich man on death's door, she's sleeping with other women in her luxurious home.
In other words, a dirty marian is a lesbian widow ready to inherit the money of old men that are soon to die of natural causes.

"Fuck, bro. Thanks for the warning."

Get the Dirty mariana mug.*noun*; in Keynesian economics, the rate at which aggregate consumption rises in response to a rise in national income.
For example, suppose the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.95. If the national income is 100 billion dollars, and it rises 10%, then consumption will rise by 9.5 billion, and saving will rise by 0.5 billion.
If this theory is correct, then an expanding economy will suffer insufficient demand for its own output, and a recession will be inevitable.
This is why national governments respond to recessions with deficit spending: they are trying to counteract the MPC's effect on aggregate demand, and bring it in line with potential output.

Not only is the marginal propensity to consume weaker in a wealthy community, but, owing to its accumulation of capital being already larger, the opportunities for further investment are less attractive...
