What you snortingly/contemptuously tell someone who irrelevantly asks to be paid for something that he should let you have for free, such as an item that he'd already discarded. The joke is that said financial instrument would be DOUBLY worthless --- not only would it be a phony check, but the written info on it would be counterfeit, as well. :P
A humorous-natured local woman gigglingly asked me if I'd slip her a few bucks for some old chipped enamel saucepans that I'd salvaged from her curbside trash-pile, so I made a face at her and agreeably responded, "Sure thing --- I'll forge a rubber check for you for five dollars!"

Race checking, a race check, or the past tense "race-checked" is an occurrence when one person claims to be a race and the other person denies them that privilege. It typically occurs when ambiguous ethnic groups claim to be white but a "race expert" will come in and deny his race, often in a cruel and mocking way. Race checkers come in many different races: An Indian man race checking an Arab who claims to be southern European for example.
"I'm white, bro!"
"You aren't white, you look like dirty arab!"
A bystander: "DAMN, GET RACE CHECKED!"
"You aren't white, you look like dirty arab!"

In the US, an employer is required to pay an employee for ones's time on the job, and may only be withheld up to 30 days. To some, this means signing onto a job, working for a limited amount of time, demanding for their paycheck, and leaving.
This reflects an incompetent hiring process and lowers morale.
In some cases, they will call and/or come in, asking if they can/will receive their paycheck on payday.
A Wonder Check is called such because it leads others to wonder how they earned it in the first place, and wonder why they left at all.

"A Janice called, and left her name and number."
"What did she need?"
"She asked if she could grab her paycheck Friday, but I don't ever remember seeing her here before."
"Oh yeah, she worked here for a day and never came back."
"I see, she just wanted her Wonder Check. Glad she stopped me from doing my job to ask about her nickels and pennies."
