Off the Rail

When a client at a strip club cheaps out and doesn't sit at the rail, but back far enough that he can see everything without having to tip, thus spawning the term: off the rail

Stripper to another: I wish they would ban that perv, all he does is pay the door charge, nurse one drink for like 2 hours and sit off the rail so he doesn't have to tip. What a loser.
