1. An economist or talking head who sings the praises of the wealthy corporations while glossing over the miserable state of the working class. This would generally include the majority of all economists since only the wealthy corporations can afford to hire official excuse-makers.
2. Roughly, anyone who tells you to "whistle while you work".
3. One who plays the skin flute for his corporate daddies in exchange for Ass Tokens.
The word 'highfallutin' is based on a midwestern slang pronunciation of high + fluting or flutin'. The adjective is meant to humorously contrast the fancy and ghey sounds of a flautist (flute player) with the seriousness of everything else in the real world.
That high-fluting economist thinks he's really something special in his fancy suit and gold watch. He's just putting lipstick on a pig.
My boss has been listening to that high-fluting economist on Fox News and now he's got the Ayn Rand Effect so I could get fired just for showing up today.

V. Acting or behaving outwardly ghetto in a high class establishment. 2) Intentionally reducing the quality of a conversation or experience. 3) Allowing your backside to show by intentionally forgetting to wear undergarments with baggy jeans when sagging.

"You never catch the Obama girls sistrunking on national TV."
or
"When the Country Club manager told me my card was declined, I just started straight-up sistrunking..."

Netrage (Or just "raging") is the opposite of Netiquette. It's when a social networking site or comments section has been taken over by angry, ignorant people who shout obscenities (in all CAPS) and misspell everything they type. These "Netragers" travel in packs across the internet and ALWAYS miss the point of whatever they're commenting on... They are completely hostile and love to gang up on polite, mature people. They are also sometimes called Rage-aholics because expressing constant outrage and anger is an addiction for them.
I had to shut down my computer and go outside for a walk... All the NetRage was getting me down.
I know your IQ is lower than the temperature in November but could you stop Net-raging on me? I was only trying to answer your question.
1. N. When you act like you can't do your job until somebody else does theirs. This is considered a major foul in all careers except politics, evidently.
pronunciation: Rhynz Pree-bus
2. Chairman of the Republican National Committee
3. V. (archaic) Laying pre-emptive groundwork for future excuse-making when needed.
Office Hag: I can't have those tps reports done until Milton returns my stapler, so I'm just having coffee and talking about what a great worker I am.
Manager: Sounds like a Reince Priebus to me. Now just get me the Management Porn that I requested three days ago.
Verb tense: Republicans have been Reince Priebusing the media by getting that High-Fluting Economist at the Heritage Foundation to write some Spinata about how stimulus spending doesn't work.

1. A Scam, False Promise, or Major Disappointment.
2. A form of trickery where the perpetrator keeps their promise on a technicality but the end result obviously doesn't match reasonable expectations.

"Now she's not answering her phone. I'm afraid she has taken you to Scotch Candyland."
"He told me his name was Steven and you his name was Bob... And now you find out that he has children in another country? What kind of Scotch Candyland is this!? "
