Added to the list of neologisms I never want to see used again: he-cession. It's even worse than staycation.

"Cater’s girlfriend Cecilia has held on to her job as an office manager for a chiropractor. But Cater says he’s been eating into his savings to avoid relying too much on her income."

Niiiiiice.

As far as I can tell, the article's claim that 80% of job losses have fallen on men is wildly wrong. From the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics I got this page: http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/

It looks like women's unemployment is up by about 3% and men's by a smidge under 5%, making the relative increase... um, 62.5% "falling on men"

"he"cession my foot.

Oh. Hm. I think I was looking at a different article. Oops :-)

Ugh, that sort of coinage alwasy sounds like it comes from a Family Circus cartoon. I was particularly annoyed by "threepeat" a few years ago when som local sports team was in danger of winning something for the third time running.

But that's just me being a cranky old coot.

Ooh, yes, "threepeat" is totally on this list.

I'm just getting a head start on cootdom.
