wallet bait

When an advert (online or offline) or a general public marketing stunt involves a rather attractive and bewitching female to stimulate either:

a) enough interest that you will click the advert (online) or visit their site (offline).

and/or

b) interest in buying their product(s).

Sometimes the link between the attractive woman and the actual product can be ridiculously tenuous.
"Those Facebook ads with that cute chick on are total wallet bait. The service itself sucks!"

"Dude convention girls are such wallet bait, I spent 20 minutes chatting to 'Jenny', I don't even *like* cars."

travelcard abuse

When you use your annual season ticket travelcard to make pointless and unnecessary journeys just because you can.

The early stages of travelcard abuse can typically be identified by young professionals trying to justify the annual expense of their travel card by stating something similar to "well I have paid for it so I may as well use it".

This eventually progresses into downright travelcard abuse.

Though its origin is when referring to the London Underground it has been known to apply to other annual tickets purchased for other methods of transportation.
I haven't got a lot planned for tomorrow I'll probably just engage in some travelcard abuse.

Let's abuse the travel card and meet up at here *points to random station on map* because I think it has a funny station name.

Why did I go all the way to South London just to go to Mc.Donalds when there's around 46 of them much closer? Because I can! That's travelcard abuse at its best baby!
