Urban Dictionary: loo bee doo

Once a conversation is slowly grinding to a halt, simply say "loo bee doo" to get the conversation flowing again.

For the love of all that is holy, loo bee frickin' doo!

  1. The thesis that trade deficits are net-bad has . . . merit.

  2. I believe the Fed may have been looking at a chart like this when they decided to announce QEternity.

    They probably have a handful of charts telling the same story that is not getting play on CNBC yet. Just a hunch.

  5. The plan is to stop QE once we either return to the orange trend line or hell freezes over.
