The customer is always right

A maxim in the retail industry wherein a customer is first priority. The sentence is a logical fallacy because it never assumes that a customer can lie, (They do. A lot.) have unrealistic expectations, (They do. A lot.) make ridiculous demands, (They do. A lot.) or even flat-out abuse the staff member in question just because. (They... Well, you get the idea.) As a result, this mindset has led to many, many, MANY instances of customers acting like entitled jackasses because they think it will get them what they want.

"The customer is always right?" More like, "The customer is usually a moron and an asshole."

customs

1. Habitual practices, including religious rituals.

2. Where smugglers get arrested.

I could get arrested in customs for smuggling books about religious customs into a country where atheism is the state religion.

Cuckoo

To act crazy and foolish.

Person 1: Did you hear about that girl the other day?
Person 2: You mean the one who acted like a little child and was bouncing off the walls?
Person 1: Ya. She must've had a lot of sweets that day, she was really cuckoo.

Customer

Not to beat a dead horse, but: myopic halfwit who runs the gamut of annoying from Limp Passivity to On Crack. Infamously fancies himself always right. All because of that stupid saying.

Customers are so stupid, sometimes I forget they have feelings.

Customs and Border Protection

(US GOVERNMENT) Agency of the Department of Homeland Security tasked with the enforcement of US border protection and with the investigation of violations.

Created in 2003 from the former US Customs Service (Homeland Security Act); accounts for approximately one-fifth of the DHS's total budget. Budget is greater than the entire defense budget of Colombia, Taiwan, or Iran. It employs 52,000 people, including 17,000 border patrol agents, 1000 air and marine agents, and 22,000 port inspectors.

The Villarreal investigation is among scores of corruption cases in recent years...

...Department of Homeland Security officials have reconstituted an internal affairs unit at Customs and Border Protection, one of the largest federal law enforcement agencies, overseeing both border agents and customs officers.

When the Homeland Security Department was created in 2003, the internal affairs unit was dissolved and its functions spread among other agencies...

Cuckold

Historically a cuckold was a man who was married to an adulteress wife. The dictionary defines a cuckold as “a man with an unfaithful wife.” Cuckolding in this form is as old as the institution of marriage itself. Traditionally a cuckold was an object of scorn among the community and was looked upon as someone who could not satisfy his wife’s sexual appetite. It is only in the last century that the term cuckold has come to take a different meaning.
