(n.) A period characterized by highinflation and stagnated economic growth. Ability to use this word in a sentence inevitably labels you an economist, and therefore a nerd.
Unemployment is high, and so is inflation. Increasing economic production will reduce unemployment, BUT push inflation even higher. Reducing economic production will reduce inflation, but put more people out of work.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
