When a situation calls for offering an even amount of things, but you make the mistake of offering an odd amount.
My friend Steve tried to join in on our footy game yesterday. He was only one player but in that moment we really needed two players. I told him he can't play because he came to us with an odd offering.

Get the Odd Offeringmug. A totally-legitimate-but-unappealing-to-most-people food-selection (like a vegetarian casserole) that a shrewd/miserly citizen brings to a church supper or fundraising luncheon, enabling him to majorly "come out ahead" at the meal --- i.e., he can gluttonously stuff his own face with everyone else's scrumptious offerings, yet not have to actually contribute much of anything himself, since almost nobody else at the gathering will want to dip into the unappetizing food-selection that he brought, and so he can then just smugly take the still-brimming pot home again and polish it all off himself over the next several days. Extra points if the dish also happens to be one that the penny-pincher himself actually finds at least moderately tasty, since he will then not even have to "suffer" much at all while grinningly tucking away the food into his own tummy afterwards.
Ebeneezer Scrooge would always bring a huge steaming pot of mixed vegetables as an ideal potyuck meal offering whenever he attended a town-hall supper or other public dinner --- this was one of his favorite foods, and nobody could object/complain about his perfectly-healthy choice of meal-contribution, but most of the other attendees would hungrily head for the far-more-appealing "meat 'n' potatoes" and "sweet stuff" culinary delights brought in by other citizens, and so Scrooge would be able to totally pig out on these same delicacies to his hearts content, yet never have to actually end up spending much if any money on feeding anyone else because he'd always wind up getting to eat most of the veggie-soup himself sometime afterwards... cleverrrr!!!

Get the potyuck meal offeringmug. I wasn't offered anything. The YouTube freaks offered me a job kind of but that SEEMS TO BE only to get away with not paying for services rendered. If you offered or paid anyone, it was not me. Depending on who you offered or paid, they may know who I am. YOU likely know they are not me.
Hym "If you offered anyone anything, expecting to offer it or pay me, bring them before me and get them on camera ON YouTube (in either order) because they are not me. It's not an ethos. These people are not the same and if they are, it is because you are doing the same thing to them that you are doing to me. There is no one who should be speaking for me. Anyone who would try to knows that they shouldn't be doing it and are doing it anyway explicitly because they think they are better than someone they are not better than. And, as I've said before, it is going to affect you before it affects me until what is happening to me stops affecting me."

Get the Offeredmug. by ssmilleey :) October 11, 2022
Get the fake offer lettermug. A person who makes plans with multiple different people or groups, but ends up with the one with the most advantageous predicted outcome.
Sam: What are you doing tonight?
Pat: Going out with Alex, Dave, and Matt. Wanna join us?
Sam: Definitely, but Dave told me he was going to the sold-out concert. Maddy gave him her extra ticket.
Pat: That makes sense. Dave has always been in the Better Offer Club
Sam: Agreed. He’s the CEO of the BOC
