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.

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.
