High-Fluting Economist
1. an economist or talking head who sings the praises of the wealthy corporations while glossing over the miserable state of the working cl-ss. 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 -ss tokens.
the word ‘highfallutin’ is based on a midwestern slang pr-nunciation 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.
