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

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
