Swiftonomics

The effect Taylor Swift has on ticket prices and the economies of cities and local businesses.

Due to the limited supply of tickets and high demand, fans pay anything - nosebleeds cost as much as $1,500 per seat - to attend a concert. The costs to see Swift aren’t just limited to the price of a ticket but also hotel prices, merch (t-shirts are $55 and hoodies are $75) and other associated costs.

I have sold my soul and my house to see Taylor Swift live. Swiftonomics in action !

trickle-down shitonomics

How tax breaks supposedly have that trickle down effect but it doesn't work in practice? You sort of do the same with shower water.

Guy 1: holy moly, man. You smell like shit.

Guy 2: yeah, I'm a current practitioner of trickle-down shitonomics

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
