brinkster

Brinksters are the aspiring hyphenates who have yet to make it in "the (film) industry" and are essentially, on the brink of fame, stardom or whatever you want to call it.

The pathology of the brinkster is predicated upon the hope that tomorrow they can be the next big thing, coupled with the dread that in ten years from now they can be doing the exact same thing.

brinkster

(brink-stehr)
n. The most terrible site for web hosting on the face of the planet, it is often used by students unwilling to pay for said web hosting. It is responsible for the loss of hundreds of files, the inability to upload safely, and the general frustrations of thousands of people.

v. The phrase used to commonly say, on an utterly high scale, how pwned you have just been.

Student #1 (Brian) - "Well, I'll just upload my files now..."
Student #2 (Mike) - >_> "Good luck..."
Student #1 - "... OMFG all my files got deleted!"
Student #2 - *Laughs and shakes his head* "You just got brinkstered."

Bankster

A portmanteau of "banker" and "gangster", popularized by (among others) the economist Murray N. Rothbard, used by him to attack what he held to be the inherently fraudulent nature of Fractional-Reserve banking (as opposed to 100% gold reserve banking, which he defended as the only honest form of banking). Frequently used in reference to The Fed.

In more recent popular usage, often refers in a vague way to the forces of "Wall Street", or to those persons in the financial services industry who grow rich despite the continued impoverishment of those who depend on their services, and despite their apparent inability to succeed in business without constant government assistance.

"The Fed is an organized cartel of banksters, who are creating inflation, ripping off the public, destroying the savings of the average American."

"The banksters crashed the economy, but thanks to generous federal bailouts, they won't have to sacrifice their fat bonuses."
