econocult 

Any scheme or organization that promises quick financial rewards for little effort, esp. those that attempt to show a happy 'community of users'. Usually promotes itself with many (often over-emphatic) so-called personal testimonials.

Examples of econocults:

"Sign up 5 of your friends to our great offers, and get a FREE Ipod!"

"I earned over $20,000 in the first five minutes on the Amazing Crazy Cash system!"

ethnocultural neo-anthropology 

a new sub-branch of cultural anthropology

ethnocultural neo-anthropology should be devoted to answering the sole question of whether or not decolonized people in Third World countries can, without either immigrating to the Western World or financial help from the United Nations, historically, economically, and socially develop along Western lines using their own cultural and religious markers that they had prior to the beginnings of colonialism, i.e. prior to 1469 (the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castille. I think the answer is yes.

Econoception 

is a term that symbolizes how the markets (and society in general) ignore the reality and rather trust the perception gathered through media and others.

It is also supported by the theory that "as long as the numbers stay in line with previously acceptable economic data, the world won’t fret too much about what is happening on the ground."

Basically it is the amount of shit perceived as real by the majority but underneath the facts say the opposite. Rising econoception is the rising amount of shit covered up by the facts which will eventually be exposed causing a declining econoception where the shit has been exposed and hit the fan.

An example can be made also in relationships...
If you think things are going bad with your girl and she's cheating but you stick with her... thats rising econoception. Eventually the truth will come out that she is banging your best friend and you'll kick your ass (or he will for you?). Then a violent declining econoception starts because you about to jump off a building due to the truth kicking your ass.

Or another very simple example is a thai ladyboy... do a search on google images and you'll witness what we talking about. It looks great in the beginning if you a straight guy (rising econoception) and no matter how much you want to believe it... in the end IT will catch up with you (declining econoception).

A more formal example in the first world is the US mortgage crisis. Enough said.

So a lot of people rather trust the perception and ignore the reality and so... Econoception is born.

ethnocultnacity

The classification of a person's multi-faceted identity, comprising his/her ethnicity, cultural background, and nationality.

Pardon me, your accent and your appearance don't seem to match--what is your ethnocultnacity?

The combinations are endless ...
*Chinese-Filipino-American: parents and grandparents are ethnically Chinese; but lived in the Philippines their whole lives and raised you on Filipino food, language, and culture; but you were born and grew up in the United States
*Indian-Kenyan-British: family is ethnically Indian; but lived in Kenya for generations; and you were born in England
*Latino-Brazilian-Brazilian (some choose to identify further, as white Latino-Brazilian-Brazilian or black Latino-Brazilian-Brazilian )
*Latino-Cuban-Cuban (most wouldn't specify Caribbean or African ancestry because they're thoroughly mixed in Cuban culture)
*Caribbean-Tobagonian-Trinidad&TobagoCitizen
*Jewish-Polish-American
*Mexican-Texan-American (let's be honest, there's a whole other culture down there)
*Italian-Jersey-American
*European-Midwest-American (after so many generations, it's just so hard to trace!)
*White-Hawaiian-American (too far removed from ol' Scotland to even mention "European")
*KoreanEuropean-Quebecer-Canadian (for the halfsies)

econocentrism

Econocentrism is judging another economic system solely by the values and standards of one's own economic system. Econocentric individuals judge advocates for other economic systems relative to their own economic system, especially with concern for underlying supply and demand principles, with or without formalizing the value of intangible assets like human emotional development or environmental sustainability, and the monolithic implied trustworthiness of market dynamics.

These distinctions and subdivisions among various economic systems serve to define each economists unique philosophical and academic identity. Econocentrism may be overt or subtle, and while it is considered a natural proclivity of western democratic and humanitarian values, it has developed a generally negative connotation as a result of the contemporary outcome of globalized neo-liberal and free-market economic dominance, which has been observed as producing obscene wealth and income inequality, robust destruction of the life supporting planetary ecosystem, and the dismantling of the ability of national political institutions to serve the best interests of their largest constituencies.

The Grove City College holds a peculiar variation of econocentrism, as its core economic curricula is structured to communicate the theory of free-market economics as most notably presented by Von Mises. This economic system and theory is an outlier among other US colleges and universities, which predominantly are econocentrist, to the context of neo-liberal economics.
