Recessionista? Is That Good?

By: Downing Bolls
Updated: March 31, 2009
 Are you "chiconomic" or a "recessionista?"  If so, you're part of a new language spawned by the financial meltdown.  Those terms, referring to cash-strapped style conscious people, are just some of the new words of the recession.

Here are some others:
  • Bangster: a marriage of banker and gangster
  • Furcation: a vacation by way of furlough
  • Grayfield: a failing mall
One should try not to fall a victim of "ponzimonium," the fervor caused by scandals like the Madoff Ponzi scheme.
