Shoplifter vibes: When someone in a store acts suspiciously—scruffy unwashed
appearance, possibly signs of
substance abuse or withdrawal, carrying empty bags, wearing bulky coats in warm weather, moving too fast, and avoiding
eye contact—prompting staff or security to take notice.
Lee: Bruv, every time I go to the shops, the staff keep looking at me funny.
Frank: Bruv, maybe you're just
paranoid. Or,
you know, maybe you give off
shoplifter vibes, LOL.
Lee: Maybe bruv LOL.
Frank: LOL.
