Man Scan

Usually observed at clubs or bars where a single male body will scope out a potential woman but do a preliminary scan of any threat of a man involved at that time. After the Man Scan, one may either pursuit the woman, back off due to guy, or be a cock block and step in.

I saw some chick seemingly alone, so I did a quick Man Scan and then safely assumed she was without a man.

U-Scan Swap

A trick used to fool a U-Scan. U-Scans have a weight monitoring system that knows how much an item should weigh when you put it in the bag. You can take advantage of this by scanning one item then putting an item of similar weight in the bag. The main use of this is to scan a cheap item and get an expensive one of similar weight.

Jim: Why did you scan that mountain lightning and put the Mountain Dew in the bag?
Bob: Because I just U-Scan Swapped it mother flowers!

RETRO-SCAN

Exhaustive facial analysis to try to figure out how someone that has just greeted you, but you no longer recognize, used to look a while ago.

I bumped into Kathy Loggins yesterday, and despise a very long retro-scan, couldnt match the 300 pound lady with our former head of cheerleaders..

Blinker scan

The act of trying to find two or more cars with the same blinker speeds at a stop light.

That Ford and that Chevy over there have their blinkers going at the same speed. I caught it on my blinker scan!
