Economics's
is always a great word to know.
So is zedonk. Does it mean:

| a printed punctuation mark (‽), available only in some typefaces, designed to combine the question mark (?) and the exclamation point (!), indicating a mixture of query and interjection, as after a rhetorical question. |

economics definition
The science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of commodities.
Note: Economics is generally understood to concern behavior that, given the scarcity of means, arises to achieve certain ends. When scarcity ceases, conventional economic theory may no longer be applicable. (See affluent society.)
Note: Economics is sometimes referred to as the “dismal science.”
