An energy intense economy that relies primarily on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas that are derived from dinosaurs, plants and other prehistoric biota.
Industrialized agriculture exists within a dinosaur economy because it relies on petrol chemicals to produce herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers as well as lots of fuel to transport food hundreds or thousands of miles via planes trains and automobiles before it is consumed.

Getting a short hair style, such as a buzz cut, for the sole purpose of not having to get a hair cut again for a while.
Hey, nice hair cut you joining the military?
No. I'm not paying twenty bucks again this month. It's an economy-cut, I'm broke now.

An individual who leaves one region to profit from the economic prosperity of another region. Generally, economy leeches have no marketable skills and and therefore contribute very little to the well being of their new environment. They arrive in droves and their presence usually results in a steep increase in rent prices. Economy leeches usually appear disoriented in traffic, and can be identified by their out-of-province license plates and their constant whining about social problems, which they themselves have caused.
In Alberta, economy leeches are sometimes called Buffalo Hunters, in reference to the 19th European settlers who raped and pillaged the bison population of the prairie provinces for their precious hides.

I was totally late to work today. I was driving behind some newfie economy leech who drove 20 under the limit because he didn't know where he was going.

"Dude when are we getting that sack?"
"I don't know if I can drop a lot of cash, how much do we have in the weed economy?"
"Looks like 70 bucks"
"O hell ya!"

The new economy where homes, businesses and personal property are being shared for mutual benefit to manage the high cost of living.
Because of the high cost of living, we have been forced to participate in the communal economy by renting a bedroom in our house.
