Cashtration (cash + castration)

“Cashtration” or “cashstration” (cash + castration) is a jocular portmanteau term that combines money (or the lack of it) and impotence. The term “cashtration” appeared on alt.sex.strip-clubs in 1997.
 
A popular email about an alleged contest of the “Washington Post’s Mensa invitational” was circulated in 1988 and contained this winning term:
   
“Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.”
 
The word “cashtration” had appeared only infrequently since 1998, but “Cashtration: As Goes Greece, So Goes The World” was the title of an article on a financial blog in July 2015.

Recently, we’ve witnessed the bank holiday in Greece, the limitation as to how much the Greek people can withdraw from their accounts each day.
 
Not surprisingly, the mainstream press have focused on images such as the one above - a queue at an ATM - and discussed the difficulty of the Greek people in trying to run their lives on the €50-€60 that they’re allowed to withdraw each day.
