recessionary

not good; challenging; feeling like you are shoveling shit against the tide, just to keep your business or your career above water.

After three months of jumping through hoops for our client so we could meet their deadline...they decided against moving ahead with the project. I guess I'm just having a recessionary day.

Urban Recessionary

Dude, look at my inbox! Its full of words about the recession from Urban Dictionary! Might as well call it an Urban Recessionary.

Recessionanol

The distilled corn added to gasoline by government mandate, causing increased food prices, poor gas mileage and ultimately a big shot in the foot for every american.

With the economy tanking we should get rid of recessionanol!

Help! Where can I find gasoline without recessionanol?

A truly capitalist, free market economy would never mandate recessionanol.

Recessionanol was supposed to make the air cleaner, but it doesn't work because cars are still burning the same or more petrolium with the corn.

recessionALL

A period of economic distress when ALL losers living pay check to pay check suffer difficult times.

Missy freaked out when gasoline hovered around $4.00 a gallon, realizing she too was a loser living pay check to pay check during these recessionALL times.

Recessionapathy

The feeling of disengagement from the whole global economic situation and any related news. A refusal to feel any emotion about the economic downturn, typically brought about by excessive media bombardment and dullards inventing new terminology to describe circumstances that are not new to mankind (e.g. 'credit crunch'). Some genuine economic-psychology experts suggest this mental malaise is the apporiate and normal response to a recession beyond the initial exciting roller coaster downward dip of the economic curve. Whatever - it's all boring economic talk and there's a repeated episode of CSI I have only watched once before so I'm quite excited about that and cannot spare the mental energy to contemplate anything fiscal.

Spectacle wearing dull dude: "I'm concerned about what this means for mortgage rates in the longer term."

Pretend normal person: "Mmmm me too - it is a worry."

Recessionapathetic dude: "ehh? what's that? sorry I was day dreaming about putting a cat in a wheelie bin"

Spectacle guy: "Your recessionapathy appalls me"

remissionary man

A man, such as John Edwards or Brett Favre, who cheats on his wife while she is undergoing treatment for cancer or is in remission.

While he lovingly sat by his wife's side throughout her initial cancer diagnosis and treatment, his desire for intimacy led him to become a remissionary man by engaging in a torrid affair with his secretary.
