gipping and handling

Derisive/resentful term which refers to the perceived act of swindling someone out of money through the misuse/abuse of postage-fees as a sneaky way of making excessive profit or otherwise "coming out further ahead" than is fair. Usually accomplished in two "opposite" ways, either by:

(1) a money-hungry mail-order company's charging excessive postage-rates as compared to the company's actual cost to ship merchandise (such as charging s&h merely based on the order's monetary total instead of the actual merchandise-weight, or claiming that the shipping-weight of a few rubber bands or a matchbook-sized pack of film-splicing-tabs has a shipping-weight of one pound, when any blockhead would know that they could just stuff the feather-light items into an ordinary letter-size paper envelope), especially with the bulk-rate/volume-discount postage deals that big corporations typically get from their shipping-services, or
(2) a stingy/disgruntled customer's purposely sending less funds for postage than the company specifies, with the smirky idea that the company will not want to risk offending the customer and causing him to cancel his entire order --- and then probably take his future business elsewhere --- by their whiningly contacting the customer or returning his order to ask for more funds.

The "gipping and handling" strategy can be a highly effective/successful countermeasure to use when ordering from companies that charge exorbitant postage-fees merely in an attempt to make additional "free 'n' clear profit" from unused postage-funds. What you do is draw up a fairly "large" order --- i.e., one that involves maybe fifty bucks or more (either by ordering one or more expensive items or a bulk-purchase of cheaper items, so that it totals a sizable amount), and thus will be sufficiently "tempting" to the company to make them reluctant to risk "losing" the order by upsetting you in any way. Then you just "accidentally on-purpose" neglect to use the company's "official" printed order-form that came with their catalogue --- you instead just use ordinary lined paper of your own to write out the order, and so your order-sheet no longer contains the company's shipping-rates chart, allowing you to simply write in your **own postage amount** after the subtotal! Oh, sure --- the company is probably gonna include a "debit memo" notation at the bottom of your invoice when they ship your order, but that's of no concern of yours at that point, since --- ha ha ha! --- you already have your merchandise, and so you can simply ignore their blubbery request! Awwww.... you greedy fat-cat CEOs didn't get your extra profits from **me**, the way you do from all of your other "sucker" customers --- too bad, so sad!!

gippo

Originated from a slang word for gypsies. Normally considered deragotory.

Now:
1. A term to refer to anything that is beyond ghetto. Too ghetto to be ghetto.

2. To be of especially crappy quality, jury-rigged to the point that the danger of its use outweighs the benefits of its intended purpose.

3. To refer to someone that is especially shady. Usually used to refer to crackheads and homeless bums, but can be a catchall for anyone that would classify as ghetto.

4. To really fuck something up or to be a fuck-up.

5. A situation that would be described as sketchy and questionable in legality.

1. Dude, that gippo ass car is held together by 47 different kind of bondo and sealant.

2. Dude, that electrical job is fuckin' gippo. It's gonna kill someone!

3. Dude, the people in this club are a bunch of gippos.

4. YOU FUCKING GIPPO!

5. We rented a suite in Vegas, and put up 20 dudes in there. It was so gippo.

gippering

ok, get some stringy bacon, and thread some string through it, so its dangling from one end.... get your partner to swallow the bacon, and you keep hold of the other end of the string. now, do them up the arse, and once your about to shoot your muck, start tugging on the string.. the bacon harrasses the throat, making them gag, and thus, contract the sphincter, making for a hella crazy load explosion

none eneded. you might see this in a dutch brothel
