The hummus economy cynically refers to the economic situation in Lebanon, the country where hummus originated.
The hummus economy consists of the successive poor leadership that took Lebanon to an unparalleled economic recession that surged between 2019 and 2020. It has resulted from corruption and incompetence in the absence of the rule of law.
The expression insinuates amateurship in managing Lebanon where leaders have been historically busy by shallow matters distracting the Lebanese from what matters when it comes to inclusive and sustainable growth.

Banging a girl from behind, you take 9 Kosher beans (preferably blessed by a Rabbi) and stuff them into her anus 1 by 1. Then pull out of vag, stuff it in the butt and start mashing the beans into hummus. Then as you are ejaculating, you take a Tostitos Scoop tortilla chip and dip it into the butt crack, and dip out some of the wonderful mix. Then with proper wrist action, whip the chip around and shove it in her mouth.

(Noun) A high preference for anyone Middle eastern fully or partially (Arab, Turk, Israeli, Iranian etc.) by anyone non-middle eastern. Similar to the slang “Yellow Fever”, except Yellow Fever involves Asians. Hummus is a delicacy found in the middle east, is growing in popularity in western countries, and probably one of the first things that come to mind about the middle east (aside from terrorism) can be hummus. In the context of sexual preferences, the word “fever” is used to describe a high preference or an obsession, hence the term Hummus Fever.
