Checkers was in the 50s, (at the time) Vice-President Nixon's dog. He used the dog, a cocker spaniel I think, to cover up a blatent lie. Basicly, he tried to tell the world a soppy story about his dog to make them feel sorry for him and put him in a more favorable light than he was ultimatly burned out of office by.
"Checkers is my cute little dog." It could probably also be used as a verb. "Man, don't talk checkers to me!"

quite possibly the shittiest fast food ever invented. with franchises placed mostly in ghetto-ass areas of the country (e.g. East Orange, NJ) this chain hires the scum of the earth as employees and serves up the least satisfying dogshit-tasting burgers ever invented. their motto "ya gotta eat" says it all... if you're a down in the dumps nigga, u might as well use that $1.89 in ur pocket to buy our food... i mean ya gotta eat SOMETHIN. makes mcdonalds look like Ruth's fuckin Chris.

A person who achieves a desired position due to one or more nonjob competency related criteria. The organization may deem that the criteria helps their public or other social favorability. I.E. the candidate "checks the box". This term and related policy has become more frequently used in politics and in very large public or private companies, to not infrequent embarrassing ends, since a more competent applicant would have been overlooked in favor of a box checker.
The public affairs spokesperson frequently misspeaks and typically does not have answers for easy questions. It looks like they were hired a a box checker for their position.
