Buying Lobster With Food Stamps

A phrase used to describe someone who's being a colossal dumbfuck. Mostly just used as a degrading insult. Is much more effective against black people.

References retards who go to the grocery store to buy lobster with food stamps, thinking they're bougie as fuck.

Bro, how the fuck are you dying so much in this game, you can't be buying lobster with food stamps.
