rent seeker

A person or entity that provides little to no value while seeking to take/extract as much value from others; a burden on society as a whole.

Highly similar to a mooch or a leech, they thrive off owning something scarce that other people need; this provides a position of which negotiation is a mere formality.

Rent seekers are intrinsically "valued" more than a mooch or a leech though, prized by much of business and criminal culture for their innate ability to treat people like numbers and maximize cost to benefit ratios. For this reason, a "rent seeker" does not exclusively mean someone who literally owns property and seeks rent.

"My landlord won't fix the hot water and is upping my rent anyways! But all the other places I check out are also moldy or broken and cost even more! Goddamned rent seekers!"

Chill seeker

Like a thrill seeker, but instead of seeking thrills a chill seeker is someone who seeks for cool places to chill.

Dude, John showed me this abandoned quarry the other day. Smoked a bowl there. Chill af. John is such a chill seeker.

Attention seeker

I mean... I said you would say that, didn't I? Still 7 years ahead of everyone.

Hym "It's easy to trivialize by calling me an 'attention seeker' but, really, think about it: How many people are actually doing anything even remotely close to this? Are they getting attention for it? Is this some 'optimal attention receiving strategy' I'm unaware of? And, relative to who? Who are you comparing me to? How am I any worse than your average wannabe Instagram model or actress in that regard? The difference is, you wouldn't even be asking. You would just throw your money at me, no questions asked. And, in the context of my situation, I couldn't get you to stop giving me attention if I tried. Wouldn't it be a strange thing for me to lie about? Is anything I've said untrue, or what? Are you the arbiter of who deserves attention now too? Are you trying to arbitrarily deny me attention? And as far as 'getting a big head" is concerned, do the phrases 'So, easy it isn't even fair for me to compete' or 'You're lucky I even allow you to have a country?' ring any bells? My head was already as big as it gets. You all just mistakenly affirmed all of the things I confidently asserted. It was an 'unintentional ego boost' to you. But where is this 'attention is to be denied to anyone who would seek it' thing coming from? And why isn't it being applied to YouTuber and Instagram/Onlyfans models?"

Spice seeker

A girl (from any racial or ethnic background) who likes brown guys.

This term is to be used in a playful and confident way to highlight the passion between interracial dynamics, not to fetishise.

Friend 1: “Sarah is a spice seeker. She only dates brown guys.”
“Sounds good to me 😏”

Bolt Seeker

A seemingly crazy person. Someone with a Screw Loose, therefore they need a bolt to tighten it.

That Prime Minister Sunak is a right Bolt Seeker cancelling rules that didn't exist.

silver seeder

A derogatory term for a Gleaner combine. The machines are a silver color and the older models tended to put a lot of grain back on the ground which would then grow the next year as s volunteer crop.

You can tell they harvested that field with a silver seeder.
