r/neoliberal 

r/neoliberal is one of the most rational, logical, polite online communities you'll ever find, and as a supporter of free speech it pleases me that Reddit would allow such a beautiful, booming hub of economic discussion, egalitarianism and calls for fostering of free democracy to exist.

r/neoliberal 

basically Liberals who hate both reagan and thatcher yet choose to call themselves neoliberals just to piss off both socialists and conservatives thus maintaining quality policy discussions based on academic evidence and consensus among professionals(like scientists, urban planners, economists, doctors etc) instead of bullshit peddled by far-left and far-right. Your "common sense" and historical materialism are not substitutes for empirical evidence.

they mostly believe in the fact that regulated market economies with global free trade, free movement of capital and labor leads to massive reduction in poverty and increase in human welfare and incomes of all groups. some commies think that poverty isn't declining instead the world bank has reduced the poverty line which is again bullshit, you can see poverty rate at different poverty lines here: ourworldindata.org/no-matter-what-global-poverty-line

sometimes r/neoliberal come across as smug technocrats, not that its a bad thing. Singapore is technocracy after all.

Originally shitposting sub for r/badeconomics .
Person 1: Why are people getting so radical nowadays? everyone thinks they have the whole world figured out and they know more than consensus of professionals who worked their whole life in their respective fields.

Person 2: yeah bro, people are getting their policy takes from BreadTube, Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson, Zizek, Karl Marx and other over-glorified idiots. You should visit r/neoliberal, we only have policy discussions with proper citations of research papers.

Person 1: wow this place is kinda nice, I too love the global poor now.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
