cyclical rumination 

The constant pondering over and over again about an issue and not doing anything to resolve it.

Verbal cyclical rumination - do something about it (ie put something into action) or stop verbalising it coz I don't wanna hear about it again.
"You have to do something about this cyclical rumination, its not healthy, act on it!"

pro-cyclical

Something that moves in the same direction as GDP.
When GDP increases, standard of living increases. Therefore, standard of living is pro-cyclical.

Cyclically Unemployed 

A girl who has not had a man in her life in a long time or ever. She is ready for a man. Her mind is always thinking about where she can find a man. She is in search for a dating life and is open to a lot of guys. She may perceive herself as being of low value.
Christina is cyclically unemployed due to her willingness to put up with John’s low value behaviors. She is still showing dedication to him despite the normally unattractive behaviors.

A downward spiral

A nice/political/doublespeak way of defining something (see financial crisis) in a positive-feedback loop heading for destruction. An impending shitstorm

It came as Jean-Claude Trichet pointed the finger at financial markets calling on them to refrain from putting pressure on banks to hold on to more capital as that was aggravating the economic downturn.

The European Central Bank President said: “It is not our position, and we will do all that we can to pass the message that we are not in agreement with that. That would augment the pro-cyclicality of the present period.”

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.
