The recession has brought our country a number of new things - and apparently new terms is one of those things. Christian Science Monitor posted 10 new terms for the new economy... here are a few of my favorites:
Funemployment, n. The practice of enjoying one's unemployment.
Intaxication, n. A sense of delight mingled with the perception of instant wealth that one feels upon receiving a tax refund.
Recessionista, n. A consumer who has historically paid big bucks to look like a million bucks and who, unwilling to quit his/her fashion habit in the face of the recession, has found alternative ways to maintain a certain standard of wardrobe.
Madoff’d, v. To get ripped off in a particularly offensive fashion.
