Sir, – Some suggestions for the 2012 OED: 1. Austerity n [os-ter-it-ee] the exploitation of the most vulnerable in society, often under the guise of solidarity. 2. Pausterity n[pos-ter-it-ee] the preservation of certain groups through scrupulous accumulation of diminishing wealth. Often associated with CEOs and elected representatives; frequently accompanied by tokenistic gestures. 3. Prepausterity n[pr-pos-ter-it-ee] The notion of fairness or solidarity in economic crisis. – Yours, etc,
