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."

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

Largest electronics retailer and a great place to work. Even if you do have a Master's degree (sorry to the person who says that no one works there beyond high school). Great place for a part-time job...with a tremendous benefit package (even for part-time employees) Employee Discount (cost to company +5%), 401k, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and Vendor Accommodations.
This company has stayed on the front edge of the curve and is thriving even in this volatile market. The development of the Twelpforce is just the most recent example of how Best Buy is a pioneer in retail. Past things they took the lead on include non-commissioned sales people and eliminating mail-in rebates.

Welcome to Best Buy, how can I help you today?

When many other companies have gone after employee compensation to try to help their bottom-lines, Best Buy has not. Best Buy has continued is matching policy on employee 401ks and has actually improved the profit sharing program (Blue Crew Bucks). It is now quarterly and gives more stores the opportunity to succeed and achieve the goals needed to get the money for the employees.

The act of unhappily and impulsively purchasing a product due to high prices or terrible quality/service. This normally results in taking your unnecessary anger out on either the employee who was assisting you or traffic on the way home.
