economic cleansing

The methods used by government or those in power to make those pesky poorer people get up and move from the geographic place they live. It could be higher property assessments, highways through poor neighborhoods, higher costs for food, shelter, and even water. If poor people can't live in a certain area then economic cleansing has occurred. It is often subtle and no one ever admits to doing it. It is the final market solution to poverty in any growth oriented prosperous community.market forces ethnic cleansing gentrification progress

The city of Leander engaged in economic cleansing when it raised city water rates so high that poor residents couldn't afford the water bill. The Health Dept. said they can't live in a trailer, where they lived for 30 years, without their city water hookup. They must move. They have been economically cleansed by the city council.

regional cleansing

The business process of terminating an entire geographic location. Sometimes done to move people to corporate headquarters, of as part of a bigger plan to outsource jobs, or a cost savings plan to move jobs to a cheaper region (e.g. India).

The first thing Jeremy did after joining the company, was to perform "regional cleansing" of the Redmond, Washington development group. Jeremy showed up Monday and told everyone that their jobs were being eliminated. They had one month to look for new jobs in other corporate locations.

Texaco Cleanse

After having sex in a car or at a rest stop, then being forced to wash your privates in the sink of a gas station bathroom.

I walked in to the bathroom and caught an old lady giving herself a Texaco Cleanse right by the liquid soap.

Gravy Cleanse

The mid-western equivalent to a detox or juice cleanse used by middle aged, lactose intolerant women (generally from Appalachia or surrounding American mid-west) consume copious amounts of sausage gravy in hopes of ridding the body of excess fluid and toxins.

The last gravy cleanse had me shit off 10 pounds.
