Propsperity

Presenting the facade of prosperity, success, wealth, or commercial activity by the use of fake goods, knock-offs, or false fronts, in order to impress or fool the public, government officials, financial investors, or friends, as a propaganda tool.
As Fermanagh, Ireland, prepared to host officials from the wealthy G8 nations, run-down and abandoned stores were painted over with images of "free-market" prosperity. A happy, thriving butcher's shop consisted of stickers plastered to windows showing rows of meat, fish, poultry ready for sale, like a prop for a Hollywood movie.

Obama: "Hey, look at that great butcher shop!"
Putin: "This is nice Irish Austerity Village full of propsperity. Is just like my Mother Russia."

prosperity gospel 

a doctrine taught by mostly evangelical Christian televangelists that wealth and propserity are promised in the Bible for devoting your life to God, or that a life of wealth and health and prosperity are signs of God's favor. Unfortunately, the prosperity gospel is not just unBiblical, but is used by these televangelists to get you to donate your money to their organization. I am a Christian myself and dont buy into the prosperity gospel.
The prosperity gospel unfortunately leads others astray and exploits one's desire to have wealth and health in this life. In a way, the prosperity gospel teaches a person to pursue wealth and not God himself, and could be considered a form of idolatry. If the prsperity gospel is true, then why wasn't Mother Teresa or Jesus rich?? Does being "poor" mean you are being chastised by God? Just a few thoughts.

prospefity 

A right wing prosperity doctrine that advocates a rugged individualistic "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" capitalism for the people, and a privatize profits/socialize costs, bailouts and welfare programs for the rich/corporations.
"Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish." Sen Mike Lee (MAGA, UT)

global prosperity 

An era where humanity must achieve one day where money or financial status doesn't make you a better human being. The goal of everyone during this non-existing era is human progress of knowledge. Money doesn't mean anything during this make belief because all of humanity has evolved into a race that doesn't destroy themselves because of differences of beliefs and skin color. Everyone is the same no matter how wealthy you are.
Global prosperity is probably a century away. Not in our life time obviously.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
