An all-purpose excuse that people use during a &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=recession"&gt;recession&lt;/a&gt;
to justify doing things that are below their usual standard. Often
these things &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;in reality have little or nothing to do with the economic
circumstances&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class="example"&gt;
Harry: &amp;quot;You took your girlfriend to Applebee&amp;#39;s on &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Valentine%27s%20Day"&gt;Valentine&amp;#39;s Day&lt;/a&gt;?  Pretty weak.&amp;quot;
&lt;br /&gt;Larry: &amp;quot;Whatever man, I didn&amp;#39;t have a choice.  Bad economy.&amp;quot;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Senator: &amp;quot;Mr. Paulson, you really want to give the greedy, soulless
bankers who caused this mess $700 billion with no strings attached?&amp;quot;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Henry%20Paulson"&gt;Henry Paulson&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;quot;Hey guys, bad economy.  &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Just%20do%20it"&gt;Just do it&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;quot;
&lt;br /&gt;Senator: &amp;quot;Good point.  I vote yes.&amp;quot;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Fred: &amp;quot;Dude, tell me you didn&amp;#39;t go home with that &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=broke%20down"&gt;broke down&lt;/a&gt; 300-pound whale I saw you with at O&amp;#39;Shea&amp;#39;s last night.&amp;quot;
&lt;br /&gt;Brendan: &amp;quot;Dude, it&amp;#39;s a bad economy.  I&amp;#39;ll take what I can get.&amp;quot;
&lt;br /&gt;Fred: &amp;quot;Yeah, I guess you have to.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
