Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.
Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.

Get the system of checks and balances mug.Where a gal promises to "pay" you for a favor by spreading her legs for you afterwards, but then unexpectedly insists that you wear a condom, which of course drastically reduces the pleasure of the act and thus largely negates any true value of said "payment".
Any time that a "willing" chick offers me sex in exchange for my assistance, I always make sure to first ask her if she's gonna let me "do it bareback" before I decide whether or not to bust my ass for her --- oh, I might still help her out even if she wants me to use protection, of course, but I still like to know what I'll be actually getting out of da deal --- I've gotten too many rubber checks in da past!

Get the rubber check mug.when passers-by catch sight of a woman and a baby pram, their first reaction is to check the pram's contents to see for themselves how cute the baby is. Upon noticing that the baby is brown/mixed and the woman white (thus betraying their expectation that the baby/mother duo were alike), the observer's eyes are helplessly drawn towards the baby once more to readjust their perception that the white woman is a mudshark. This second look constitutes the shark check, confirming that the white woman has sharked it up.
Something felt off with that woman's toddler. I shark checked it and take it that its father is a citizen of a vibrant stock.

Get the Spot Check mug.When someone passes the Kiki vibe check it means they are weird, but safe. They're quite odd, but in a good way. They're really fun while your mental health is safe from toxic behaviour when you get close to them. Most of people that pass the Kiki vibe check are either lgbtq+, neurodivergent, mentally ill, anime/cartoon enthusiast, a memer or all of the above. Thought falling into one of those categories isnt' a requirement.
Person1:Dude, do you like to hang out with Sophie?
Person2:I mean she's fun, but she didn't pass the Kiki vibe check...
