A recession is two consecutive periods of negative growth. So usually a "technical recession" means "we meet the criteria for a recession but we're not experiencing the bad effects you'd expect (yet)"

The point is that the word recession has a meaning, the meaning is accepted worldwide, and we are in one. I would also dispute that we are not experiencing the bad effects. The polls seem to indicate the public is feeling quite a bit of pain.

Well 'we' aren't actually in a recession. Economic growth in the US has been positive the last several quarters.

Who is the "we" you are talking about?
