v. To be nickel-and-dimed by
passive-aggressive behavior,
particularly by a company that sells products and/or services; to be ripped-off, misrepresented, or billed for unforseen expenses.
The word originated from the Webster Square
neighborhood of Worcester, MA, as a result of the widely publicized business practices of the Diamond Chevrolet dealership.
I made sure my boss signed a contract before I started
the project, or else I knew he'd Diamond
Chevrolet me on my paycheck.
Everyone in Worcester knows someone who has been Diamond Chevrolet'd, so there's no excuse for it to happen to them.
You filthy Diamond Chevroleting rat, you killed my brother...
