Apocalyprofiteer<\/strong>: \/a pok a lip prof fit eer<\/em>\/ Arma Getton was an opportunist who found personal gain through spreading dire warnings and market trends in global warming, meteor crashes and other disaster potential. He made so much money from all his tax-free organizations and obedient followers, that he was able to afford 6 private jets, many gas-guzzling vehicles and often was seen wearing fur coats. At least his last days on our dying planet would be made more comfortable for this apocalyprofiteer! Etymology:<\/em> Apocalypse (a cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil;the last book of the New Testament; contains visionary descriptions of heaven and of conflicts between good and evil and of the end of the world; attributed to Saint John the apostle & Profiteer (someone who makes an excessive profit, usually due to the misfortune of others).<\/p>\n

Armagetsome<\/strong>: \/\u00c3\u00a4rm\u00c9\u2122gets\u00c9\u2122m<\/em>\/ Pastor Bob is the head of the Church of Armagetsome. His fire and brimstone, doom and gloom sermons are sure to fill the collection plates. **You can*t take it with you** he is sure to tell his fleeced flock. He spends the incoming money as if he believes his own proclamations. Amen! Etymology:<\/em> Armageddon (a dramatic and catastrophic conflict, typically seen as likely to destroy the world or the human race) + get some Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
