Credophile

Literally "belief lover".

As for the previous poster, you fool that's not what credophile means. Credophile is an awesome term coined originally by the writer L. Sprague de Camp, in a letter to James Randi.

It's a label for those who appear particularly gullible and are particularly inclined to believe whatever claims come their way. (See Scientologist).
To quote de Camp directly,

A credophile gets positive pleasure from belief and pain from doubt... The credophile collects beliefs the way a jackdaw does nest ornaments: not for utility but for glitter. And, once having embraced a belief, it takes something more than mere disproof to make him let go.

Credit or debit?

A coded phrase used to let a friend know that they their butt crack is clearly defined by the garment they are wearing on their ass (e.g. pants, skirt, bathing suit, etc.), without letting others know the message. The association being that a wedgie resembles a card swiping machine that one would use to pay with a credit or debit card.
As Gabrielle stepped out of the pool, I noticed she had a severe wedgie. So to save my friend any embarrassment, I quickly yelled " Hey Gabrielle, credit or debit?" whereas she responded with a quick picking of the wedge.

Credit Flock

When you submit a new word or phrase to UrbanDictionary and immediately (or eventually) many other authors make a definition for it as well that is usually a horrible spin-off, a wrong version of it, or generally the same thing - they're trying to take credit for it. Usually happens to those that are deemed "word of the day". Also - irony points if it happens to this.
John: I submitted that word I made up to UrbanDictionary yesterday and immediately these three fags 'coincidentally' submitted the same word.

Gerald: You got credit flocked.
