I've started using the term "Mitt Romney unemployed" for "not working but no pressing need to", as a reference to his famous gaffe about "I know all about unemployment! Heck, I'm unemployed, myself!"

- TheCoelacanth 6y agoWhy not just stick to the classic "idle rich"?
- SilasX 6y agoIt’s for when the person isn’t necessarily idle. I mean, in the namesake example, running for President is, like, the opposite of idle. It’s just not generating wage/salary income. Edit: and even if “idle” in that sense is assumed to mean the previous sentence, that’s still counterintuitive and misleading.
