lifer

Someone who makes a career out of working in a particular call center. There will usually be one or two people in a call center that have been there for eight years or so (maybe longer) who have somehow escaped the regular fire-hire process that call centers go through. They usually have a tired, burnt-out look to them and can be seen hunching over their workstation in a hazy daze.

cash back

An "incentive" offered by companies where they charge you more money and then give it to you at the time of purchase. Also known as "customer cash," cash back is frequently a ploy used by car dealerships and more recently cable TV providers. It plays on greedy consumers' tendency toward impulse buying. To the dealer it sounds like "here's some of the money you're going to pay us" but to the average consumer it sounds like "I can go buy a new car AND a flatscreen TV!"

Come in today and buy a new car and get $2,00 cash back!
