The rot economy is a growth-at-all-costs economy. The only thing that matters is growth of revenue, which comes from showing a never ending vomit stream of ads, rewarding managerial malpractice, and pleasing shareholders. Also see: enshittification
Ever wonder why Google results are getting worse, or why you aren't seeing your friends on Instagram? It's all because of the growth-at-all-costs economy that's swallowed the tech industry, where the user experience takes a back seat to monetizing every interaction with the platforms you used to love. - episode synopsis for “The Rot Economy,” from the Better Offline podcast

From the TV show South Park. They steal underpants in order to make profit. They even educate children on how profit works. Here's how:
Stage One: Steal Underpants
Stage Two: ???????
Stage Three: Profit!
The underpants gnomes robbed my house again.

The Rule of Goats says that self-awareness or irony doesn't change public perception. If you fuck a goat, even if you say it's for the lulz or to prove a larger point, you're still a goat-fucker.
The saying was coined by criminal defense attorney Ken White of the Popehat Report. It's loosely connected to an Irish Pub joke about an old man who has multiple accomplishments but also once fucked a goat. In the end, nobody recognizes him for his achievements and instead only knows him as the goat-fucker.
Defendant: "I was only trolling when I said all those awful things."
Ken White: "The Rule of Goats applies."

A portmanteau of "bro" and "oligarch". A broligarch refers to an ultra-wealthy man who uses his fortune and status to sway government policies, political agendas, and cultural narratives.
Broligarchs are often characterized by their bro culture and sneakers-with-suits vibes. Despite their laid-back image, they operate as political kingmakers, funding campaigns, lobbying, and shaping laws that align with their own interests. One minute they're posting memes, the next they're deciding tax policy.
In many parts of the world this would be considered corruption. In the US? It's just business as usual.
Ever since Elon Musk started throwing cash at Trump, he’s become the textbook definition of a broligarch — even scoring his own fake-ish government department to play with, while his companies are raking in billions in taxpayer money.
