Tribe check

A form of tribalism. This occurs when an individual questions what tribe you belong to, as a way of determining your compatibility with their tribe. If the tribes aren't compatible, both parties may be subject to awkwardness, unease, and even confrontation.

New guy: "...don't really appreciate you tribe checking me in front of everyone like that dude"

Frog Check

A term commonly used in the military or other settings where one is required to where a uniform that uses accessories that are pinned to clothing (name tags, ranks, ribbons, etc.). Used to describe an action in which a person who is evaluating uniforms will press down on a pin to see if the person wearing the inform is wearing their frogs (metal coverings placed on the backs of pins to prevent them from damaging the skin or falling out).

Dylan: Damn the flight commander frog checked me so hard during inspection I bled a little.
Alex: That's what you get for waking up an hour past your alarm and rushing your uniform.

two-party check

The careful "consulting all people involved" verification that you'd jolly-well better perform before you accept any paper financial-instrument from anyone, especially if the document is "signed over" to you by the document's original payee!

Performing a two-party check is vital to maintain your financial integrity, not only because you might not get paid, but also because you could get hit with a returned-check fee and other legal hassles if the check is either drawn on an account with insufficient finds or is written without the account-owner's authorization.
