decession

[Jonathan Lighter]

On of CNN's business correspondents reported this afternoon that the economy
has gotten so bad, she "heard a new word for the first time today.
Someone...told me, 'This is no recession. It's a DEcession.'"

The ellipsis may have been filled by "on the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange," but I can't recall for certain.
