In colonial times, they bartered and sold goods to people who didn't have them. Now a days, we have a stronger economy and know more about good choices. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]

If you don't know what a colony is, head on over to:

... and give it a look.
Economy, same answer. When you need to know what a single word means, pick up a dictionary or head over to dictionary.com.
If you read it, and still don't get it, then post here. :-)

Then my, which is a word used to show posession. So, by disecting it, I think the word is a way to tell people you own an orange econ class. Hope this was helpful.
