luxury shame 

When affluent consumers feel it's necessary to conceal their exorbitant purchases to others, especially in a weak economy.
Bruno felt guilty for purchasing a new Ford GT while many of his co-workers were losing their jobs. Now the GT stays parked in the garage while Bruno drives his Pinto to work. Bruno is experiencing a clear case of "luxury shame". Damn this recession!

Luxury Shame 

The feeling a wealthy person unaffected by the recession has for still being able to buy whatever the hell they want while most of the world is teetering on the brink of utter poverty.
"I felt luxury shame for lusting to purchase a $100,000+ Hermes handbag but simply couldn't bear the burden of what my less fortunate friends would think of me."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".
A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.
I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.
