mr whipple

A fictional crooked ebay seller,from Mr. Whipple in the old Charmin commercials , in other words a seller of ass-wipe. Mr Whipple will send the wrong items, and when contacted admit that it is his mistake. Mr Whipple will then offer to give a refund provided you send the items back. Paying $10 to return a $10 item is not worthwhile, and Mr Whipple counts on this. If you point out it is his mistake, and he should pay to fix it Mr Whipple will tell you to read his return policy. If you threaten to give him negative feedback if he doesn't set things right Mr Whipple will shoot back that you are trying to blackmail him , and he is filing a complaint with ebay. By now you realise that Mr Whipple has done this many times before, and the $10 isn't worth the hassle. Signs of Whippledom an item is listed at a good price and gets no bidders item is re-listed at a better price and still no takers. Buyers who would be interested have been burned by the seller,or know about his past scams won't touch it. The seller has some really nasty feedback, and his standard reply is I offered to return their money. A seller whose refund policy is the buyer is responsible for all shipping no exception's deal where the items' cost is cheap and the shipping expensive. What to do. If it makes you feel better leave nasty feedback (like it really does any good), warn your friends, accept the fact that you have been cheated by a pro, and forget about it.

The seller sent the wrong stuff, and expects me to spend $10 for shipping to get a $10 refund, Mr Whipple strikes again. This is the third time I got cheated by Mr Whipple, how many of those guys are there ?

hillbilly engineering

Having to make due with what you have, because you know you won't be getting anything else. Creations that aren't sophisticated or pretty but they get the job done.

The system of cables they use to move cut timber down the mountain has got to be the ultimate in hillbilly engineering.

Good as Obama's word.

A updated variation of "not worth the paper it's printed on". From Obama's making promises about something, and then not keeping them. An outright lie that you deny or try to explain away as not being what you meant to say. Something , or someone that you don't dare trust.

I'm told that guy is nothing but a conman. He's as good as Obama's word.

optical delusion

When you see things as you want them to be, not as they really are.

That fox is really staring at me, she wants me to know that she wants me. Dude you're under an optical delusion, that's a glare not a stare, and if you go over there, she'll slap you blind.
