Yap tax

The toll you pay by nodding, mm-hmming, and pretending to follow an endless monologue from a talkative partner so you can withdraw some benefits later. Often paid at dinner, in the car, or while they debrief you on an entire season of a show you’ve never seen.

Sat through a 20-minute rant about her friend’s boyfriend I’ve never met. Yap tax is steep tonight, but the ROI is looking good.
