Using the lingo

Oh yeah, about that title. Economics has such a wonderful vocabulary; I particularly enjoy the pithy "revealed preference," meaning "figure out what people want by what they do [not what they say]."

Speaking of vocabulary, and more generally, language, behavioral economics isn't mathematics, but I'll do my best to be precise. If I slip up, let me know.
