Thoroughbread

Da type of horse dat da Gingerbread Man rides. This is da real reason dat he was able to outrun everybody --- naturally, his tiny little short legs could never have enabled him to run very fast, but he was riding a swift steed which allowed him to easily outdistance his merely-on-foot pursuers.
Da story of da Gingerbread Man never actually occurred da way da fairly-tale relates it... da fox merely wrote da narrative dat way 'cuz he was humiliated dat da Gingerbread Man prudently declined da cleverly-devious crimson-canine's offer to give him a ride across da stream on his back, but instead wisely went back to his house and got his long-legged Thoroughbread horse to easily splash across da river, and so da infuriated --- and hungrier-than-ever --- fox never got to eat da Gingerbread Man, after all.

Sam's Club chiseler

A paid-up member of a “big box” warehouse who solicits his bargain-shopping privileges to other folks who have less-affluent lifestyles, and who therefore would wish to also purchase ordinary grocery/household items at bulk-package prices, but who either cannot comfortably afford the outrageously-steep membership-fees that the bulk-package warehouses charge, or who do not buy enough yearly volume to justify paying the fees. The problem, of course, is that the opportunistic member engages in "chiseling": he does not merely ask to be reimbursed just for his actual expenses in procuring the items for these lower-income folks --- i.e., the total amount of the purchased items plus the cost of any additional gas that he’d consume in the course of obtaining/delivering the purchases --- but also charges a hefty “shopper’s fee” for his “services”… yes, it would be an amount that’s still somewhat less than the total savings compared to what the items would have cost in a “regular” store, but still considerably more than the frugal-by-necessity folks for whom he’s shopping would have wanted to spend to obtain their items in the first place.
Members-only warehouses should quit charging such exorbitant fees to their paying customers --- it creates a fertile breeding-ground for Sam's Club chiselers.

notory public

Someone whose eccentric/undesirable behavior is all-too-well-known --- i.e., "notorious" --- all over town.
Hippie-types who strongly wanna spread their messages of, "save the whales", "no nukes", "peace on Earth", etc most definitely DO have my full support; it's when they get pushy or preachy and then start to piss off other people that they "cross the line" and become notory publics.
