Short for Homo economicus. A hypothetical agent used in economic modeling who exhibits perfect rationality, consistent preferences, and complete self-interest. Unlike a human, an Econ is assumed to possess infinite computational ability to process information and always selects the option that maximizes their personal utility (satisfaction or wealth).
"If we assume the consumer is an Econ, then increasing the price by even $0.01 should immediately lower demand, but brand loyalty often keeps Humans from switching."

fache-couture 

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.
