Recessionista 

A person who evokes being affected by the recession because it's the 'in' thing to do, especially if they have no real need to. They may even pay more for the privilege of having just the right down-market accessories or habits. (Reference the evolution of the hipster.)
We're going to Mel's Diner tonight. The decor's a little shabby, you know with the recession and all, but they have the most fabulous oysters served in replica sardine tins.

regressive left 

A term coined by anti-extremist activist Maajid Nawaz, to describe far left zealots who defend and support extremist ideologies, cultural and religious relativity and pander to absurd sensitivities. You'll often find these SJW type plonkers screaming racist or bigot at anybody who dares challenge their one size fits all view of the world.

Regressive Rock 

A style of music that emerged in the 2000's. Regressive Rock is commonly characterized by relentless use of 4/4 time, unimaginative lyrics, mundane 4 minute verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus song structures and lengths, and generally untalented musicians. Instrument choice is limited to guitar bass and drums.

Also sometimes called "Reg Rock"
Nickelback is a great regressive rock band, they're so brilliantly unimaginative!

Recession Beard 

A beard grown after being laid off, due to the lack of need to maintain a certain caliber of appearance. Most commonly found during recession, or other forms of economic depression, when jobs are lost en masse. The loss of job makes the unemployed male down in the dumps, and the laziness makes him less likely to shave.
Tom: I lost my job at the auto plant a few weeks ago.
Bill: So, that would explain that scrappy thing on your jaw.
Tom: Yeah, it's my Recession Beard. Is it really that scrappy?

Triple-Dip Recession

The kinkiest guy you know. Ddlg, BDSM, anime school girls, you name it. He will literally stick an entire stick of butter up your ass and eat it like chocolate ice cream. He will bite your nipples so hard you'll get war flashbacks, even if you've never been to war. He'll cum in yogurt and feed it to your grandma. He doesn't give a fuck.

The Great Recession 

A major economic contraction which began in 2008. The Great Recession featured the collapse or nationalization of many banks and investment houses. Characterized by a torrent of panicky headlines from the bloodthirsty vultures in America's piss-yellow newsrooms, who tried their damnedest to make us all believe that this was the worst it's been "since the Great Depression."
The Great Recession was the best opportunity yet to rob the public purse in order to bail out the rich-ass hedge fund managers and their golfing buddies.
