Lumbering Lomax 

A child older than 15 but not yet 30 that attaches themselves to there parents and friends like a leach. They will not work, walk around looking for ways to get video games and sit on their ass 24/7 doing nothing but eating, sleeping and playing the newest game they have coned there parents or friends for. This person is uncomfortable around anyone other video nerds or people just like themselves. They will also when in a verbal fight accuse the very people that help them of getting them what they want not what they need.

They usually will amount to nothing in life but a sponge or leach.
Brother: Do you know where Cody is?

Father: I don't know where that useless Lumbering Lomax is at!

Dude that bitch Cody is nothing but a Lumbering Lomax!

gift card laundering 

The act of using a gift card to purchase another gift card of equal or slightly greater value in order to hide the fact that you're just regifting the original gift card.
After I do some gift card laundering at the mall today, these gift cards I got last Christmas will be squeaky clean and ready for regifting. No one will ever catch on to my operation - muhahaHAHA!

reputational laundering 

Reputational laundering - the act of appearing to do good publicly in order to offset a negative image. A technique usually employed by individuals or corporations who have made their money in a morally questionable fashion and who wish to appear to have a moral conscience.

Reputational laundering often comes in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility, where a relatively trivial sum of profits are donated by the corporation to fund socially oriented activities in order to suggest that the corporation is socially responsible.

An example, often sited, would be major oil companies giving charitable funds to communities in the Nigeria Delta whose original livelihoods they were implicit in destroying through the extraction of crude oil.

However the practice of reputational laundering is by no means exclusive to corporations. Many morally bankrupt individuals donate money to charity in order that they are seen to care about social or environmental issues. As an added benefit to their undeservedly improved public image they also enjoy significant tax breaks on their donations.
Given that it has just paid record fines for insider trading, PJ Gorman’s effort to support a youth programme in the inner city is little more than reputational laundering.

money laundering 

The process of running illegal proceeds through a supposedly legitimate business, to turn your "dirty" money into "clean" money, and, uh, fuck it just go watch season 4 of Breaking Bad.
Money laundering plays a major role in season 4 of Breaking Bad. You should check it out sometime.

lord levering 

The single greatest economics teacher in existence. He can be scary at times, especially if you're late to class, but he truly just wants his students to succeed.
"I'm really glad our Lord and Savior, Lord Levering, was my economics teacher. I got a 5 on the exam!"

Reputational laundering 

When Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, and Elaine Chao say they are leaving the Trump Administration because they have principles, but we all know it’s less than two weeks before they would be out of their jobs anyway and they just want to save their social standing and careers in the future. Plus, they have no principles or integrity.
These reputational laundering attempts coming out in the final hours of the Trump White House are fooling no one.
