Refers to the pathetically-selfish practice of a miser’s offering a naïve fellow human one or more huge trash bags full of returnable containers as payment for his running one or more errands and/or performing some task around the shyster’s house or property, only for the hapless workman to later discover that the bags merely contain a comparatively few very large (i.e., gallon and/or 2-/3-liter) plastic containers, rather than the logically-expected “haul” of many dozens of ordinary-sized glass/plastic drink-bottles and aluminum beverage-cans; he is thus being paid only a small fraction of the “apparent reimbursement” that the gigantic bulging bags had “implied”.
I always insist on either “counting through” bags of bottles/cans before accepting them as payment for something, or having clear-plastic sacks be used to bag up the returnables, so that I can actually see the size/type/number of the containers inside the bags, and thus be more sure of getting the approximate reimbursement that I’ve been led to believe I’d be receiving as my end of the deal... there are waaaay too many advantage-takers out there who are eager to try to pull the ol' "super-size returnable-container swindle" on people like me.

A shitty bar or club that contains all the cunts so they are not in the bars and clubs you want to attend.
That Weatherspoons is a good cunt container though, keeps all the rotters from being in here (elsewhere).

The theory that if you own a pair of pants, everything inside it is yours. If someone wears your pair of pants, all the things inside the pants at that time, including their butt, belong to the pants owner.

This CLASSIC party game is exactly what it sounds like. Someone fills up the biggest container to be found with some form of alcohol. The first player chugs from it until satisfied, and then pronounces, "WOW, that was a big container!" Generally, people accentuate the word "big" so that people understand that it is a big container. The player then passes the container to the next person and play continues until the container is empty. Only then does everyone say in unison, "WOW, that was a big container!"

Upside Down Mustard Container (noun)
1. An idiotic attempt at an insult by someone who can't figure out what a good metaphor is.
2. A plastic container for holding and serving mustard, usually a squeeze bottle that can be placed upside down so that the contents are more quickly and easily accessed.

Time slipped away as he searched his idle brain for the perfect insult after an acquaintance had called him out on his usual shenanigans. Unfortunately, nothing came, so he blurted out, "I hate you! You upside down mustard container!" The man on the receiving end laughed and laughed, and then turned and walked away. He hasn't stopped laughing to this day. Not realizing just how lame his comment was, the one hurling the lame attempt at an insult held his head extra high, smiled in a way that looked more creepy than proud, and patted himself on the back for being such a creative, strong young lad.
