DIVORCE MAKER:
1) (n) Tandem bicycle (bicycle built for two) - Called a divorce maker because once a tandem bike gets moving, the passenger inevitably stops peddling, thus triggering hidden resentment over matters too trivial to mention that build up over time and lead to eventual divorce.
A metaphor for many marriages.

Look over there at how hard he is peddling and sweating on that bike and she isn't even breathing hard just sitting pretty, a tandem bike is nothing but a divorce maker if you ask me.

A person who offers insane or overpay amounts on items not for sale so the person is forced to give in/sell

Origin:
The word Divitam comes from the Latin word "divitiae" which means "Riches, Wealth"
Example 1:
An elderly woman has a home she has lived in for 50 years and does not want to move out of, she ignores all offers from real estate agents trying to make apartment blocks until they offer her an insane overpay amount (e.g. 3m as opposed to 1m) so she decides to give in and sell it to them
Example 2:
Aaron has a car he drives, it's a pretty uncommon car, but he likes it. It is not for sale as he has become attached to the car and doesn't really need to upgrade it as it works fine. This car is worth $10000 and he gets offered $8000, he declines, he then gets offered $10000 and still declines, so the Divitiam person decides he really wants the item especially since the person won't give it away easily and decides to offer $15000, so Aaron gives in and takes it
Example in a sentence:
"Dude I sold my car today, I didn't really want to but he was such a Divitiam."

Get the Divorce rape mug.when two people are too lazy and fucked-up to work it out so they just get a divorce. also is way too common in today' society. people who have had or are going through a divorce will tell you that they have "done everything they can to work it out" but really they haven't becuase if it were true, they wouldnt be getting one. they will also tell you that it is totally the other persons fault, which is ironic because if they arent even willing to admit that they mightve made one little mistake, how are they going to admit more, and this may be the cause of the whole thing. and after your rents divorce, your mother will cry everytime she hears "love" and then expects you to be there for her when shes crying her ass off which is extremely hard cause you dont even want to be around either of them for the rest of your lives. mom will kick dad out and never even talk to him again. only through their kids. they call each other "your mother" or "your father". basically two incredibly fucked-up people taking the easy way out of things without considering the feelings or thoughts of children, parents, and other family.
