Egonovism 

The term “Egonovism” comes from the latin “ego,” meaning self, and “novo” to make new, rewrite, or invent. An Egonovist is an individual who develops his or her own personal religions system and borrows ideas from established religions that they’re familiar with. Many Egonovists self-identify as being members of other religions.
A person who calls himself Christian but hasn't studied the Bible, isn't familiar with Biblical law, and just has his or her own sense of God and right and wrong is an Egonovist and is practicing Egonovism.

Armchair Economist 

Any person who does not have the intelligence or experience to even begin to understand the world's economies but decides their opinions are what will return the world to a time of prosperity anyway. These people often make no effort to even consider the possibility that people who do this for a living are acting in the best interest of the majority.
I heard some armchair economist say, "if the government gave everyone a new Chevy, that would fix the economy".

Reading the Economist 

Can be used in two ways:

1. Describes a sexual act that could have occurred between two close friends as they share a shower together while one person is supposedly reading the Economist, or

2. Describes the use of a completely non-sensical excuse to explain why a guy and a girl were in the shower at the same time.
"Hey..we knocked on the door for like 15 minutes and no one answered..where were you?"

"In the shower with my friend."

"DOING WHAT?!"

"I was cold, so I decided to sit in the bathroom and absorb the steam, and so I was reading the Economist while I was there."
