Slang Stock Market
I’m shorting the word “douche.”
After a strong resurgence in 2005 and showing strong staying power through 2007, its day has come. Lately most of the people I’ve seen use it fit into two categories, or a combination of both:
1) people over 40 who have finally had the word passed down the cool chain from their younger friends and co-workers
2) the “douches” originally being described themselves
Pretty soon even the douches won’t be calling people douches, which is when the stock will completely crash.
This touches on a great idea. I bet we’re not far away from Google (or maybe someone else) being able to predict which words are coming in and out of vogue.
