Recession whore

A person who uses the recession as an excuse to free load off others without shame or feeling of resentment. This is used to prevent a person from using their own money and spending or using other people's money. It's pretty much like selling yourself (like your time, looks, etc.) for free stuff in order to survive the recession.

That girl is such a recession whore, she only uses him when she wants to free drinks.
