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".

A synonym of saying "I don't play." The term used when your trying to tell people that you are being serious. By flunking recess you have established yourself as someone who does not play...

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.

a wave of music videos by mainstream artists with uncharacteristically low budgets, giving a somewhat cheapened feel to the video. signs include single venues, maybe one or two cars, a lack of jewelry (excluding jewelry owned by the artist beforehand), animation, and a cheaper grade of video vixen.

The worst financial crisis in the United States since the Great Depression and the current period we are in. It occurred during the first decade of the 21st century (core years lasted from 2007-2010) and was marked by rampant job losses, high unemployment, collapse of the real estate market, Wall Street losses, and the closing of numerous banks. The national unemployment rate was as high as 10% in 2010.

It was triggered by foreclosures and a collapse of the real estate market in Florida in 2007. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two large government subsidized mortgages lenders, later fell under heavy scrutiny by many members of Congress. It also created a national credit crunch that resulted in new government regulations that tightened lending standards and changed the rules for nearly every bank. All of a sudden, even people with nearly spotless credit found it hard to get a loan on anything. Wall Street stocks fell by nearly 50% in 2009.

The GR also changed the political clout in Washington when Republicans became the majority party in the House of Representatives, after the 2010 midterm elections sent many Democrats home. Things havent improved very much as the Great Recession is still ongoing and many Americans are still out of work. It will take many years for the housing market to recover, and probably longer for the jobs return to pre-recession levels.
