Deflationary Vortex

A steep general decline in prices, often caused by a reduction in the money supply or credit, that creates economic recession or depression, which in turn results in greater deflation. A vicious circle, where the problem is its own cause.
A Deflationary Vortex occured in Japan during the 1990's, brought about by decreases in price that lead to lower production, which in turn lead to lower wages and demand, which lead to further decreases in price

Ultimate Balloon Deflation

When a male shaves his pubic area, and believes that cold water will help prevent razor burn. He then turns his shower on and sets it to as cold as it can get and holds the shower head at the most 3 inches from his penis and testicles for at least 10 seconds. Once the cold water is shot on his penis and testicles he watches his privates contract to his body for warmth. Eventually, the contracting leads to an ultimate pain, where the male's testicles feel like they are going to explode.
"Yo so I was chilling out by myself and I thought i would clean up downstairs. I tried to water my cactus patch, to prevent the burn but the only thing i got out of it was ULTIMATE BALLOON DEFLATION. Ouch."

Accolade Inflation

A type of inflation in a social group whereby more and more shallow, empty, and easy awards keep getting made and given out to members, and thus members of the group need to show a huge number of these awards to be considered average.
There is so much accolade inflation these days it's hard to tell apart those who are average from those who have accomplished something noteworthy.

The CVs of HS students applying to college these days has a 7 page section on 'awards and recognitions' due to the constant accolade inflation.

My 5 year old came home from school with 5 daily stars for her behavior over the past 3 days, in a case of flagrant kindergarten accolade inflation.
