overpriced

A $5.00 item that costs $10.00. May be of higher quality than a $4.00 item but not enough to justify it's price. Usually a fad or status item like a $500 Gucci purse.

You can get an identical knock off of a Gucci purse for 1/5 the price, the Gucci is way overpriced.

help

A mythical being that will magically appear and render assistance. No one knows what help looks like as no one has ever seen it. I think it isn't fair to blame help for promises that other people make, and help can't keep.

That cabinet looks to big and heavy to move by myself, don't worry you'll have help. I'm not qualified to do this job, don't worry you'll have help. I don't have enough time for this project, don't worry you'll have help.

battlecar retardia

A junk car or truck ,that is driven like a tank by its' retarded driver. The driver forces his way into traffic, cuts people off, and does scary moves because he doesn't care if his ride gets into a wreck. Most battlecar drivers have no plates, no drivers license , no insurance ,and no brains. Normal drivers give way because they don't want a wreck.

Where are the cops when a battlecar retardia is loose?

pump bandit

Someone who drives away without paying for their gas. Some try to claim it's a form of social justice because "the oil companies are ripping us off." Basically it's stealing from the guy who owns the local gas station.

Thanks to the pump bandits you now have to prepay all the time.

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.

Science class boyfriend

A friendship of convenience where a hot girl will team up with, and pretend to show an interest in a nerdy guy, because she needs his help to pass a tuff class. The girl will give the nerd false hope that there could be something between them, and drop the nerd as soon as she no longer needs him.

That poor guy doesn't realise he's just a science class boyfriend.

King Lake

A place where it is possible to own a $1,000,000 plus house and not the land it sits on. All the land is owned by the Archibald family and leased to the other residents. Leases are for a fixed number of years and are good for the original lessee only, anything that violates the terms of these very complicated leases can result in voiding the lease and having to sell or tear down your building. The difficulty in buying into King Lake is really a protection for social climbers, if you step on the wrong toes you can lose your lease, your house and be booted out with no legal recourse.

Edmund bought his king Lake place for a song the former owner lost his lease and had to sell the house or tear it down.
