Nom nom nom” is said to have originated with the Cookie Monster. *nom nom nom* It has become a preferred way to express voracious eating. Today the meme has spread to everyday conversation.
Jen – “How’s that sandwhich?”
Mark – “Nom nom nom!”
Jen – “I need to get some more noms.”
It is almost certain that the word economics was coined without *nom nom nom* in mind. But if it was not intentional, it was prophetic to put NOM right in the tummy of “economics,” as the concept of noming is so central to economics.

Even politicians and bureaucrats?
