When your company has received an award from an organization you have never heard of (the U.S. Local Business Association is an example) that is clearly a deceptive marketing tactic similar to the phony domain name or Yellow Pages bills that are sent in hopes your AP department will pay them. Often the incentive (and allure) is a plaque or award certificate for "recognizing that <your company name> has been selected for the 2008 Best of <your town> Award."

Get the vancity mug.When a bartender/server cards you even though it is obvious you are well over 21. Asking someone older for ID is a damn good way to get a better tip.

Get the vanity carded mug.When someone defines a name or pseudonym of a person, sometimes out of spite but usually to get into a girls pants. May be written by the person themself, which only serves to make them look like an ass.
Despite the fact that you're actually not supposed to have definitions focused on non-celebrities, there are many such definitions.
