Budget Cut Moment

Noun: A moment when a movie uses lazy tactics like using the same clips over and over again, using the original voices for grunts for foreign instead of replacing it with the voices for the other dubs, using an inapprapriate setting for something else (Trying to make a garage or some cheap place look like a high-tech lab), etc just because there's not enough money or to save money or keep the extra for the filmmakers.

Movie Reviewer: AND LOOK AT THIS!!! They used the same exact clip again! Everyone?
All together: BUDGET CUT MOMENT!!!!

budget burger

Often the cheapest burgers available at a supermarket, budget burgers are usually marketed under the store's own brand product range. The taste can vary, and is dependant upon a number of variables including cooking skill, brand, and moon phase.

Examples include:

Tesco Value economy burgers
Asda Smart Price Economy beef burgers

<guest> dude, what are these made of?
<host> They're budget burgers, man, I'm broke till my giro comes through.

Monk/Nun Budget

The kind of budgets people will come up for you when they want you to move to an expensive town. The name comes from the fact that the people are only factoring in basic expenses such as rent, utilities, and maybe a car payment. This assumes that you live like a monk or nun, because they seem to figure that you never go out and eat very little or not at all.

I was duped into moving to that fancy resort town by being shown a budget that made it look like I could afford to live there. This was a true monk/nun budget because as soon as my car broke down I was out of luck.

Budget Cuts

When you just don’t have as much cheddar as you used to.

Q: Sorry James, but some bureaucratic nonsense has forced MI6 to experience a severe drop in funding. In light of these budget cuts, I must regret to inform you that Q Branch can no longer afford to maintain your Aston Martin and other such gadgets. But worry not, I have something for you that in the right hands is both versatile and deadly. This, James, is called a rubber band. Bond: I think I’ll just mount Moneypenny instead.
