The soft concave curve found on both sides of the waist in young females with hourglass shaped figures. Not the opposite of love handles, because that would be abs, which are not soft, as love curves are.
Very useful for holding onto, wrapping arms around, gently stroking or squeezing, or playfully pinching or poking.
As they were walking through the garden, he slipped his arm behind her waist, pulled her close to him, and kissed her deeply while his hands gently stroked her love curves.

It is the best thing that could ever happen to your grade, and it "makes" you look smart but the truth is you ain't (Well at least not anytime soon). Also means that your whole class is stupid and dumb. But it seems to keep your parentals happy besides the other classes that you have an F in.
Parental: Wow you have an A in this class!
You: Yes it's really easy! (Chuckles on the inside GRADE CURVE)
Parental: Great, now I can sign you up for the extra honors class in this subject!
You: (Oh sh*t!)

a graph correlating inflation against unemployment rates. Using a horizontal axis to represent unemployment, and a vertical axis to represent inflation, A.W. Phillips found the rate of inflation and unemployment in Great Britain for every year between 1861 and 1957. When he had plotted the 97 dots on the chart, he had a rather neat hyperbola convex to the origin of the graph.
In other words, if the rate of unemployment was low, the rate of inflation was high, and vice versa. At the time, economists concluded that this was a logical outcome of both being influenced by the rate of interest: if interest rates were low, then unemployment would be low and prices would rise, but if interest rates were high then there would be lots of unemployment and workers would not have much money to spend... so prices would go down.
Unfortunately, when economists tried to design policy around this concept they disrupted the smooth relationship. In the years since the 1960's, there has not been a straightforward relationship, and Keynesian economics has had to be drastically revised to a post-Phillips Curve regime.
There is some correlation between inflation and unemployment, but the correlation is much more complicated than originally thought. It is quite possible to have high unemployment and high inflation (i.e., a high "misery index").
The Phillips Curve implies a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. Unfortunately, this trade-off may sometimes represent more of a Faustian bargain.
