Microwave inflation

When the cooking time of food needs to be adjusted to account for a weaker or stronger microwave.

The microwave at my dorm room is older than the one at my house, so when I make a bag of popcorn, I have to adjust for microwave inflation.

West Coast Inflation

Tendency of the west coast to overrate. For instance, if a show has rave reviews in Frisco you should wait until it gets as far east as Chicago before believing it.

Possible explanations include laidback, non-critical attitudes, drug use, and simply less exposure to good culture.

The term originated in the drum corps circle, where corps are numerically judged across the country and the scores coming from the west are disregarded.

Wow, these guys are supposed to be fantastic!

Don't believe the hype, it's just west coast inflation.

Inflation

When even with more money today, you can only afford to buy fewer goods and services than in the past—your future buying power is reduced as basic necessities like food, water, and gas get dearer each time.

Inflation explains why the price of a math book in 1960 was 30 cents, but the same type of book today costs 30 dollars, or why a ten dollars’ worth of cookies today only cost 30 cents half a century ago.

maturity inflation

The increase of the average age to achieve basic financial independence over time. It is similar to currency inflation in that a certain number in one decade is not as valuable in a latter decade.

Maturity inflation rates may vary based on national origin, culture, socioeconomic status, gender, etc.

Back in the 50's, people were adults when they turned 18. In the 90's it was 27, but now days you aren't really an adult until 30. Maturity inflation is a bitch.
