A person who is able to remain stylish during times of economic hardship. A recessionista can shop on a limited budget and still manage to be up to date on the most current fashions. A recessionista does not let a bad economy, inflation, or a strong recession damage his or her wardrobe and opts to search for sales and shop at thrifty discount stores instead.

Get the rehiptionist mug.Old veteran singles site female (usually over age 55) who gets a facelift, puts on tons of makeup, dyes her hair so the white doesnt show, posts chemically madeup pictures in her single profile of her with a silly juvenile smile on her carefully disguised old face....and thinks it makes her too good for any interested men on the singles site so she winds up dying of unrecognized loneliness someday as a stubborn single who rejected everyone.
