Buying the lobster

Choosing to buy a significantly more expensive item largely because it is better marketed and more ostentatious but which is actually of slightly inferior quality to the cheaper option. Often done on impulse.
Adam: "You know I kinda regret forking out $5000 for this fancy clockwork watch. I need to wind it all the time and my old quartz watch was noticeably more accurate."
Barry: "You spent $5000 on a watch! What were you thinking?"
Adam: "I dunno ... it looked great in the shop window and my credit card made it so easy. I guess I just bought the lobster."
Barry: "I know what you mean, I hate buying the lobster."

Millsrane buying

When someone incessantly purchases new cars one after the other replacing their old car with a new car. Often the car purchaser will go through reasons as to why they need to purchase the new car. "its better fuel economy", "its got back seats for the kids", "its the snow - I needed something better for the snow", "It will get me more chicks" etc

Not to be confused with ndubz buying where you replace a car on a seasonal basis. e.g. this is my winter car

Dirt Biking

When you stick your arms out in front of you as if you were dirtbiking, then pretend to ride a dirtbike by running around and making loud and obnoxious dirtbike sounds at the top of your lungs in a public area. May be accompanied by dirtbike gear. Usually, a bout of dirt biking is accompanied by wipe-outs, where you do a spectacular crash and make sputtering sounds. Afterwards, you can pick up the bike and do a sweet wheelie to get out of there.
