It is very common, probably stems from the time when that kind of bullshit would actually be considered “respected” science. I have to ask what’s wrong with the word degenerate? I have used the word my whole life, and now I’m mildly concerned, lol.
As someone who studied econ, I feel like I should take offense ;D
Degenerate, in slang more commonly degen, is more or less a term for a low-life or morally repugnant behavior. It seems to have been picked up by the stock market gambling community (which is kinda funny in this context, didn’t know that), but I recall it being a thing over a decade ago in the circles that community is enmeshed with, such as 4chan. Was used to denounce gays, masturbation, that kind of thing.
“Often try,” more like almost always. There isn’t a word in economics that I’ve regularly heard used correctly. Not a fucking one.
My favorite, which is not from Econ: degenerate.
