(ECONOMICS) adjusted for the time of year the data refer to.
Economic statistics are often reported as rates of change from month to month, or quarter to quarter. However, some months, such as November and December, have very high retail sales, while May through September have very high home sales. For this reason, data is sometimes "seasonally adjusted" to offset ordinary seasonal variations.
The US Federal Reserve System reports changes in GDP from quarter to quarter in annualized form; so, for example, during the last quarter of 2004, US GDP was (about) $3,044.6 billion. But it was reported as an annualized (and seasonally adjusted) $11734.9. If you divide that by 4 you get 2957.8, which reflects the fact that the Fed shaved 86.8 billion off its estimate of economic activity for 2004Q4 and reallocated it to Q1 & Q2.
The reason the Fed (and everyone else) does this is to measure economic change separately from the usual seasonal change in business activity.
BILL: Hey! This data on GDP growth is way different from that data.
ANNA: That's because one set of data is seasonally adjusted. The Fed tweaked the numbers so economic growth from quarter to quarter reflects changing economic conditions, instead of ordinary yearly cycles.
BILL: You mean it's not an evil plot?
ANNA: It's an evil plot to make you forget about Christmas shopping season and labor day white sales.
BILL: Gasp! You mean the Fed is behind the War on Christmas?????

Killing season is after Medical School graduation. When all the brand new doctors, nurses, ect get their first jobs in the hospital and the most mistakes are made resulting in death.
I needed surgery but due to killing season I postponed until Spring.

A period of time in schools that require a dress code of dress shirts year-round (and sweaters from October to May.) When the sweaters are no longer required and students don't need to have them on for the rest of the year, pockets are newly exposed. It becomes a contest of who can rip off the most shirt pockets, usually from underclassmen, with the goal being to make a shirt out of just the pockets. It lasts anywhere from a week to two weeks.
Dude #1: Hey look over there!
<Rips pocket off of Dude #2>
Dude #2: ...
Dude #1: Its pocket season, bitch!

The political primary season in the United States, where the party rank-and-file select their candidates for elective office. So called because of the phony "issues" prospective candidates dredge up to get attention, which tend to have little to do with the real challenges facing the republic.
Thought to have originated in New Hampshire, the state with the first presidential primaries.
"The silly season is upon us!"
