Economy" typically refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services within a region or country. It does not specifically refer to a sideline job or a music job. However, the term "economy" can be used in various contexts, such as describing someone's economic situation or referring to the efficiency of a process or system.

The term "schmaltz" originally referred to clarified fat in Yiddish. However, in the 1930s, it began to be used metaphorically to describe music that was overly sentimental or melodramatic. This usage likely stemmed from the idea of excessive richness or emotion, similar to the richness of clarified fat. Over time, "schmaltz" has also been used more broadly to describe anything overly sentimental or maudlin, not just music.
