I'm shopping for someone else...

Da standard "please bear with me --- I'm not familiar with this type or purchase" preamble-remark dat you ruefully tell a store-employee whom you ask for assistance in finding/choosing one or more items dat you never use yourself, and so you have less of an idea of how to shop for it or maybe even where it's stocked in da store.

Two good examples of when you might tell a staffperson, "I'm shopping for someone else..." might be if you were looking for a type of media-entertainment (such as books, music, or movies) dat you have no interest in yourself, or if you merely lived a simple bachelor's existence and were procuring "fussy female stuff" items for a lady-friend, such as cosmetics, dress-up clothing, fancy table-setting accessories, etc.

gateway shopping

Gateway shopping is when you break down to buy "just one thing" after you told yourself you have to stop spending money. Much like breaking the seal when drinking, once you have purchased one item, you'll purchase five more items, spend money you don't have, probably will have buyer's remorse.

Me: I'm not going to spend any more money on leggings and purses. I have to buckle down and save money.

Also me: Ok I've got to go to the mall for just one thing - I need sandals and that's it. That's all I'm buying.

Also Me: Ok this purse looks really with the sandals, but I like that purse too - two purses won't be a big deal. It's just Coach...

My friend: It looks like those sandals sucked you into gateway shopping - you broke the seal!

shopping-cart sidle

Refers to da "lift 'n' shift" grocery-wagon maneuver dat you utilize when making room for another customer if da aisle is too narrow/crowded to simply roll da trolley forwards/backwards outta da way; da action involves forcibly lifting up on da cart's handle to raise da fixed-forward rear wheels off da floor, and then muscling da cart sideways on its front swivel-wheels.

Anyone of average strength/agility can master da shopping-cart sidle fairly easily; da problem is if da cart is heavily loaded down wif merchandise, in which case trying to heave da back of da cart upwards can be much more difficult.

Cigar shopping

The act of a married male; standardized Male and Female union. Wherein the husband states he’s going to “cigar shopping” with his friend Dave to his partner. But in fact he’s off preforming oral copulation upon many a stranger. This act isn’t solely relighted to the transient and unfamiliar. He even sucks off Dave.

“ Hey honey Dave and I are going Cigar Shopping. There’s a new cigar shop that just opened up on 53’rd and 3’rd and we’re going to sample their wears. Don’t wait up. What? Dinner? No thank you I’ll get something with Dave.”
