Sauce Vortex

(2) The unseen force that ensures that shopping when hungry or when suffering the munchies, especially in a well-stocked Asian grocery store, will always take longer and cost more than you planned.
(1) “Drag yourself out of that Sauce Vortex and order something! You’ve been reading the menu for 15 minutes!”

(2) “We’re having a Szechwan / Malaysian / Vietnamese / Korean banquet for dinner tonight because I got sucked into a Sauce Vortex in the Golden Rooster Asian Food Store this morning.”

two dollar cop

A low-paid rent-a-cop with attitude. A thug cheaply employed as a private security guard who struts like a wannabe cop. A uniformed goon or dickhead with a badge.

Examples include: nightclub bouncers and public transport inspectors.

Just like items available from the Two Dollar Shop, the two dollar cop is easily paid for but badly put together and unsafe because it does not meet the normal quality assurance standards.
"I got abused and fined $167 by this Connex two dollar cop for having my foot on the seat, while a junkie was vomiting on the floor two seats away."
