Recessionship

I might get laid off, so I don't want to move out until the economy improves. My boyfriend and I don't have a relationship anymore; we have a recessionship.

The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless are an American hard rock band. Their sound is like that of classical rock n' roll blended with a modern twist, and occasionally with a grunge sound complimented by great guriffs. The members consist of former TV starlet, Taylor Momsen who stands as frontwoman and songwriter. Ben Phillips, the lead guitarist, who has an old sexy classic rock voice and tributes to the band's songwriting. Mark Damon is their bassist, who stands at over 6ft. and doubles as security for the band, according to Taylor in an interview. Lastly is the spectacular drummer, Jamie Perkins. Apart from his dazzling drumming skills, his beautiful beard and matching hair leaves many Zombies--the name fans of 'The Pretty Reckless'--in complete awe.

Zombie 1: My favorite album is 'Light Me Up', but I'm feeling this new 'Going To Hell' album!

Zombie 2: 'Going To Hell' rocks--no pun intended. 'Fucked Up World' is my favourite track.

Peasant: The Pretty Reckless aren't all that.

Zombie 1: LEAVE.

Zombie 2: GET OUT.

Recession-burger

An alternative term for the "McDouble" at McDonalds fast-food restaurants. It is the same as a "Double cheeseburger", minus one piece of cheese. These are now seperate items on the menu because of the "high cost" of cheese since the economic troubles in the United States. A"double cheeseburger" would cost about $0.40 more than a "McDouble".

"Yeah, can I have 2 McChickens, a recession-burger, and a large fry...?"
