In This Economy? 

A statement usually made after someone suggests something that the other party doesn’t particularly want to do, particularly involving anything to do with money whatsoever. Often used as a cost-effective way to not do something, though really it often applies to a stupid idea being rejected for this even more stupid reason.

“Yo we should put some rats up our asses!” - Guy 1
“In this economy? Damn shits are lucky if they even get out of the sewers.” - Guy 2

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass

"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.
