Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines

"If you aren't in a hurry to leave the store, there will be little or no delay in getting a clerk to ring you up. But if you're pressed for time --- or even more so, if you're car-pooling with someone who is on a tight schedule --- THAT'S when there will be hold-ups galore... a long line in front of you, a customer with one or more heaped-full shopping-carts, one or more price-discrepancies that hafta be tediously resolved (i.e., the puzzled clerk is obliged to walk back with you to the shelf to look at the price-labels, a supervisor or the store-manager has to be called over), a balky card-scanner, etc."
Whenever someone who's giving me a ride is kind enough to let me stop at a store to grab a few items, I always try to make very sure that I have everything all "set and prepared" before I head to the register, so that I personally seldom create a problem (i.e., cause any delays myself with issues like not having the proper payment ready or being unsure of a price or quantity) with Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines. That way, even if my driver has to wait linger than expected for me to hastily scamper back outside with my loaded shopping-bags, he won't be able to direct his impatient frustration at me --- "Sorry for the delay; I did indeed get everything tossed in my cart very quickly, but there was a long line in front of me, and they were short-staffed today, so they only had once register open."

chocho

Chocho refers to the act of dating, or the person you are interested in that you are currently dating. Chochos usually get upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0, unless the guy finds out she's psycho/unfit for a normal, humane relationship. Chocho is strictly a term used for the female human species.

Chocho is an affectionate term that represents some kindled interest in the woman a man is dating. A man does not refer to his Chocho as his Chocho in front of her too early on in the dating game. A Chocho can only be referred to as Chocho in her presence when he is sure she will be upgraded to GF 1.0. Telling a woman she's your Chocho on the first date just makes you sound like you want some sexytime, and that is not going to happen.
Girl: What's a chocho?
Guy: I'll tell you next week.

Guy: Baby, you're my chocho. I want to upgrade you to GF 1.0.

Friend: Dude, I don't mean to crash in on your chocho (i.e. date) with her, but could you lend me some cash?
