Register Clot

A person who continues shopping even though they have reached the cash register. They order cigarette cartons that are located in distant locked cabinets, paruse the lottery gaming options available to them, or wait for loved ones who are still retrieving that one can of refried beans that they forgot to pick up during their normal shopping rounds.

Her: "Honey, are you on your way back from the market yet?"
Him: "I should be, but some damned Register Clot is still deciding if they should buy the chunky or the creamy peanut butter".

Register Fire

Any situation that interrupts the normal flow of a checkout line — resulting in the cash register and/or cashier metaphorically bursting into flames. Causes include employee incompetence, consumer ignorance or (in rare but highly disruptive circumstances) an actual technical malfunction. Register fires typically strike without warning, usually during peak shopping hours. While a shopper can sometimes spot a register fire in progress and avoid the affected checkout line, most register fires are impossible to predict.

Don’t get in that line. Looks like a register fire.

Some idiot tried to return a CD without a receipt and started a register fire.

Her credit card got declined. Register fire! Abort!

register that

The new wave of comebacks, it is the exclamation at the end of any point, statement, or just plain old outburst. Most effective when accompanied by a hand movement beside the ear similar to that of pulling a slot maching handle, sound effect of cha-chink, and then finally your "register that"!

What you lookin at bitch! I'll slap you for it. (hand movement) (cha-chink) REGISTER THAT!

Register Clot

Derived from "blood clot", a register clot stops the flow of commerce by continuing to shop even though they have reached the cash register. They order cigarette cartons that are located in distant locked cabinets, paruse the lottery gaming options available to them, or wait for loved ones who are still retrieving that one can of refried beans that they forgot to pick up during their normal shopping rounds.

Him: "I should be, but some damned Register Clot is still waiting for the clerk to return with the 2-for-1 brand of creamy peanut butter"...
