A conference panel where the speakers are all male. The term is used by feminists to shame people who don't practice gender inclusivity.
Can you believe there wasn't a single woman on the panel - I mean manel - at the "Firsthand experiences with erectile dysfunction" talk? What an outrage!

Investigator 1: "Heavens to Betsy!"
Investigator 2: "You didn't seriously just say that. What is it?"
Investigator 1: "From the looks of these financial records, it looks like the mayor embezzled some of the federal grant money he received to build that water gate to protect the town from floods."
Investigator 2: "Really? Well I'll be a monkey's uncle - you're right!"
Investigator 1: "What to call this scandal...I've got it! Because it's a scandal involving a gate, we can add the prefix 'water-' and call it watergate!"
Investigator 2: "No, that's already taken. I think it would be better, since it's a scandal involving water, to add the suffix '-gate' and call it watergate! No, wait, never mind, that's the same thing."
Investigator 1: "Since it's a scandal involving a water gate, let's add the prefix 'water-' and the suffix '-gate' and call it waterwatergategate!"
Investigator 2: "Brilliant! Just rolls right off the tongue."

Boss: "Hey Joe, would you mind stepping into my office? I think we need to have a little talk."
Joe: "Sure, what is it?"

Boss: "Hmm...well I asked some of your coworkers about it and they mentioned hearing sounds of chirps and snorts coming from one of the stalls on several occasions. It's Irritable Fowl Syndrome you're really suffering from, isn't it?"
Joe: "All right, I admit it! I can't stop playing Angry Birds!"
Boss: "Well lucky for you, you'll have plenty of time to chase those golden eggs during your unemployment!"

An all-purpose excuse that people use during a recession to justify doing things that are below their usual standard. Often these things in reality have little or nothing to do with the economic circumstances.
Harry: "You took your girlfriend to Applebee's on Valentine's Day? Pretty weak."
Larry: "Whatever man, I didn't have a choice. Bad economy."
Senator: "Mr. Paulson, you really want to give the greedy, soulless bankers who caused this mess $700 billion with no strings attached?"
Henry Paulson: "Hey guys, bad economy. Just do it."
Senator: "Good point. I vote yes."
Fred: "Dude, tell me you didn't go home with that broke down 300-pound whale I saw you with at O'Shea's last night."
Brendan: "Dude, it's a bad economy. I'll take what I can get."
Fred: "Yeah, I guess you have to."
