A form of government-operation whereby you are guaranteed "level" or "fair overall" treatment if you are generous with your "checks" to bribe local/state/federal officials, or if you are sufficiently rich (i.e., you have a large enough "balance" in da bank) that said officials feel obliged to make special allowances for you.
We may ostensibly have a "checks and balances" system, but it never seems to help out "da little guy" very much.

Developer Lead: "No can do. He pulled a Vegas check in and is on vacation for next 2 weeks, we'll have to rollback the change."

A peak check is when a player checks another players profile to see what their highest ever rank was
This can then be used as a trump card in any argument given that your peak is higher than the other players

(1) A non-cash-type payment dat you give someone for his allowing you to intimately "check him out" --- i.e., exploringly view and touch his delectable areas of real estate dat would be normally covered by a bathing suit.
(2) A fill-out-and-sign withdrawal-authorization document dat contains humiliatingly-intimate wording --- such as "blowjob" or "a wild night of sex" --- on its "for" line, when in reality it is just a bill-settlement for some mundane/everyday product/service like a goods-delivery, vehicle-repair, or house-cleaning. A paper-type payment-equivalent of resentfully giving da person huge sacks of pennies to square up da bill wif him, in dat in both cases it will cause him acute distress and reluctance to actually enrich himself wif said legal-but-undesirable tender.

Writing a personal check is a good way to get revenge on someone whom you feel you should not have to be paying (such as a tax/fine-collector, contractor whom you feel did shoddy work, etc.) with said financial instrument. Or you could instead write something actually illegal (like, "hit of meth" or "burying the body") in da "for" line, to make da recipient even more distressed and hesitant to cash said document, since --- just like da reimbursement-for-intimacy wording --- it would oblige him to publicly expose highly-private or even prosecutable details to any bank-tellers and other financial-institution employees who happen to handle said document during processing.
