Get the margin magic mug.The most beautiful girl in the entire world. Boys go crazy over her. She always has an opinion on everything. She has a kind heart for nature and animals but not to the human race. You will have to work to earn her love and trust she does not just give it out.

Get the Meggi mug.phenomenon in which greater input of effort, money, etc. yields smaller results. Crucial part of the idea is that if you're using x to get y results (where y is the thing you want). then additional input a will yield additional results b, but not in the same proportion as before.
On average, before, you put in x to get y, so your yield was y/x. But if you increase x by amount a, then your results will be y + b, where
(y + b)/(x + a) < y/x
and this will only get worse.
Diminishing marginal returns (DMR) is used to explain why the supply curve in economics slopes upward, i.e., increasing the quantity supplied requires an increased price of most things.
Sometimes DMR is more than offset by "economies of scale," which allows more of a thing to be supplied more cheaply than a small amount.

At first his flowers and treats swept her off her feet, but then he had to do more and more lavish things to please her. It was a classic case of diminishing marginal returns.

Get the diminishing marginal returns mug.A state of anti-socialism while in a crowded place. The prime position for meging is to be sitting in a corner, to have hunched shoulders, and to hold your phone relatively close to your face. Finally, you type "I love meging" over and over again to pretend you are in an intense and interesting conversation and to avoid having physical contact with others.
