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.

check

Check (n.) -- a call to action requesting other people to show/display something that you also have

Sentence format: "(noun) the thing you want to show off check"

In 2019/2020 this is trending on bite-sized user-generated-video sharing platforms.

Etymology:

Coin check (military) refers to a challenge coin. If somebody from the U.S. military receives a challenge coin (an honor) they can be socially expected to carry it at all times. So at the bar, somebody can call out "coin check" and anybody that does not have their coin will buy a round. These checks got popular in the 2000s.

WTF:

I have no idea how this word usage transplanted from military dudes to teenage girls.

"80s hair check"
