consumer surplus

an economic term for the benefit you get (or retain) when you obtain something for less than you think it is really worth.

I got a new Gizmondo for 100 pounds and I would have paid up to 200 so I had a lot of consumer surplus.
That company has a monopoly so they jack up the prices to erode my consumer surplus.

Rob Schneider

washed-up ex-SNL actor whose apogee was doing the 'making copies' skits about a hundred years ago. The rest of his oeuvre is forgettable, or better yet, unwatched.

Rob Schneider was a 90's concept that should have been left on the cutting room floor.
Rob Schneider obviously had 8x10 glossies of Lorne Michaels in a compromising position, otherwise he never would have gotten on SNL, let alone into any of those ridiculous movies.

Johannesburg

biggest, baddest city in South Africa, where the diamond smugglers mingle with the carjackers to make life strange.

I had to get out of Johannesburg for the weekend so I flew to Cape Town for the ocean breezes.

Rob Zombie

greasy loser coasting on Howard Stern promos, aka, no-talent hack and all-round douchebag. Not to be confused with musician.
Will fuck your dead sister if he gets the chance.

Rob Zombie was eating road kill out on the Turnpike yesterday.
I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone puked after hearing Howard Stern jack off Rob Zombie on his show.
