Upside Down Mustard 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.

super-size returnable-container swindle

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.
