Pro-cyclicality
A downward spiral

A nice/political/doublespeak way of defining something (see financial crisis) in a positive-feedback loop heading for destruction. An impending shitstorm

It came as Jean-Claude Trichet pointed the finger at financial markets calling on them to refrain from putting pressure on banks to hold on to more capital as that was aggravating the economic downturn.

The European Central Bank President said: “It is not our position, and we will do all that we can to pass the message that we are not in agreement with that. That would augment the pro-cyclicality of the present period.”

Cyclical Rumination
The constant pondering over and over again about an issue and not doing anything to resolve it.

Verbal cyclical rumination - do something about it (ie put something into action) or stop verbalising it coz I don't wanna hear about it again.

"You have to do something about this cyclical rumination, its not healthy, act on it!"

Cyclically Unemployed
A girl who has not had a man in her life in a long time or ever. She is ready for a man. Her mind is always thinking about where she can find a man. She is in search for a dating life and is open to a lot of guys. She may perceive herself as being of low value.

Christina is cyclically unemployed due to her willingness to put up with John’s low value behaviors. She is still showing dedication to him despite the normally unattractive behaviors.

Cyclic Trope
This is a trope that goes through a circular pattern of change, eventually returning to its original form after several iterations.

Most cycles are bipolar, though, oscillating back and forth between two opposites that mutually subvert (or invert) each other.

Cyclic tropes can often be applied to celebrity popularity.

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome
(speaking from personal experience) the absolute worst disorder to ever have. lots of nausea, vomiting, dry heaving, hypersensitivity to light & sound, etc. during an episode. the only medication to stop an episode is Ativan. it's lesser known so doctors have a difficult time diagnosing. episodes can be triggered by almost anything, and triggers are different for everyone (hormones, anxiety, excitement, changing of seasons, certain smells or times of day, etc.). be prepared for lots of IVs and ER visits. also referred to as simply CVS. sometimes retching or heaving too aggressively can lead to tearing a hole in the lung and getting air trapped under the skin (also happened to me).

I had a cyclic vomiting syndrome episode last Friday and spent most of it in the ER.

Dude, I absolutely hate my stomach, this cyclic vomiting syndrome sucks.

Going Cyclic
v. When one pulls frantically at the toilet roll consuming vast amounts of toilet paper. Usually as a result of an unusually untidy faecal event or occurence.

The term originates from the phrase used to describe firing large continuous bursts from a belt-fed automatic weapon, consuming large amounts of ammunition.

Phhhoowww! That was a messy one, I ended up going cyclic.

The poor bugger in the next cubical sounded like he was in a bit of distress, I heard him going cyclic.
