# Me too!
It's not that it doesn't mean anything as it's been given meaning. It's just everything has to has it's buzzword to make it sound cool in the media.
It's a recession. It is in no way cool, stop trying to market it!

# It means that the LIBID (London Interbank Bid Rate )
is too high. No bank will lend another any money, credit dries up and money stops sloshing about the system.
That's the "Credit Crunch". Credit being stopped and you need money to make money. Northern rock wasn’t that fucked; but as soon as there was a run on the bank it all went tits up. This happened around the same time as the CDO crash. If the credit market would open up things would get better sooner. But you'd be stupid to lend to someone who may go tits up at any mo. Cos they need credit :)

# I am aware of all this.
But that's no longer the case. Credit Crunch has gone on to mean recession.

# no, this isn't right either
The credit crunch and the recession are two different things, and each one fueled and exacerbated the other.

# "credit crunch"
The people who lent money to others to buy goods and houses, suddenly stopped lending that money and have spent it themselves (buying gold and oil etc)
Mainly the Chinese and Russian Govts and middle eastern oil states
