Shop & Swap is the term used when speaking about the act of purchasing and returning clothing after one wear. Many people "shop and swap" after shopping at relatively or very expensive stores (ie; H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Neiman Marcus etc...)and purchasing clothes they want wear on dates, to school, clubs, parties and so fourth...but can't afford to keep. Label-whore's are known the engage in this practice to remain in keeping with trends but still able to actually afford to eat.
Though most stores consider it theft in the long run, many see no problem with and compare it to renting a tux.

I was so stoked when I found out I could dress like Paris Hilton on a starving artists budget though shop & swap.

Much like an office ghost a school ghost is a rarely visible entity that seldom appears at their listed school or institute of higher learning.
School Ghosts typically appear only by force, either when (depending on the level of school, ie; college, high school etc) they are either a: caught and fined for truancy and forced to and attend class for a few weeks to please the courts.
Or b; periodically go on 2 to 4 week "benders" and are spazzed out of their minds on booze and drugs until they remember that they have class and pop in for a session or two. Just enough to flunk a test or midterm and copy someone Else's lecture notes.
"School Ghosts" normally are borne of those who become tired of actually getting up in the morning to attend classes, homework, studying or exams. These entities names are typically called on role or roster every class session but are rarely accounted for. SG's often appear in the back row, with dark sweats or flat out pajamas no supplies and fall asleep half way through and aren't seen after that.
