Joe: Hey, how's your job search going?
Schmo: Terrible. No one's hiring in this deconomy

Joe: So how are you holding up financially?
Schmo: We've had to deconomize. We quit eating out and now I put cheap gas in my car. Man, it's been tough ever since XYZ deconomized its entire manufacturing division. Guess they wouldn't have been able to pay the huge CEO bonuses otherwise.

diconomy 

diconomy is the economic meeting of an uber wealthy person with a lower economically classed working person.

this most commonly occurs in service related environments such as Ubers, coffee shops, nail salons, restaurants etc. where wealthy people make split second decisions to reward working people via tip

the word itself represents the economic dichotomy between the wealthy and those struggling to meet ends, and how the wealthy make conscious decisions to tip at a level they feel comfortable with
The diconomy is so front and center whenever I am dressed in Gucci from head to toe and choosing how much to tip at Starbucks.

After the uber driver picked us up at the met and dropped us at the four seasons hotel at 2am, I felt diconomously compelled to tip the driver more than the fare itself

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
