Can be used in two ways:
1. Describes a sexual act that could have occurred between two close friends as they share a shower together while one person is supposedly reading the Economist, or
2. Describes the use of a completely non-sensical excuse to explain why a guy and a girl were in the shower at the same time.
"Hey..we knocked on the door for like 15 minutes and no one answered..where were you?"
"In the shower with my friend."
"DOING WHAT?!"
"I was cold, so I decided to sit in the bathroom and absorb the steam, and so I was reading the Economist while I was there."

An Esoteric Economist is some who follows the Esoteric school of thought. Esoteric economists argue that wage labor wouldn’t exist in a truly free market and that Bitcoin can abolish the state. Esoteric economist also argue that governments are unsustainable and that value isn’t subjective or determined by labor. They argue that value is determined by praxeology.
Esoteric Economist: “In a truly free market. The economy will be run by self-employed people and speculative networks”
Esoteric Economist: “If the majority of the population buys Bitcoin. You’ll be able to abolish the state”
Esoteric Economist: “The state model is inherently unsustainable and will always collapse”

A guy who answers a question with absolute certainty and then claims he thought he was answering a different question based on people's reaction when he is wrong in order to manifest himself being correct.
John : "Where are crocodiles found?"
Wombat : "They're only found in Australia"
John : *googles it* "No, they're found in Africa and both North and South America as well"
Wombat : "OH! I thought the question was where are crocodiles native to"
John : "You are a Schrodinger's Economist"
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.
