QuacksO's definitions
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.

Get the Sam's Club chiseler mug.Da ultimate total-bu**s**t excuse for not doing something dat any reasonable/responsible person should do, merely for da purpose of selfishly shirking a basic duty to your fellow humans because you're too lazy/cowardly/self-centered to do so.
"It's against my religion" is the total "anti-Christ" (i.e., the exact opposite religion-based statement) in every way to the equally-disgraceful, "It's God's will" coercing-statement --- while this latter phrase attempts to insensitively pressure someone else to perform/allow an action that he strongly dislikes/disapproves of, the former statement is said in an equally-thoughtless attempt to "acceptably" get out of performing an action which the speaker himself does **not** want to do.

Get the a brief resprite mug.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.
